Prompt Three
Special education is an area that I am not too familiar with. This prompt definitely has helped give me some tips and advice from my mentoring team. One of the biggest things you can do is to stay in the loop. Whenever you have the chance, become familiar with student's IEP to help accommodate them. At first, it can be overwhelming to read and understand, but they are essential to the student's education.
Another tip I was told is that you should try to attend an IEP meeting to provide you with more insight on the student and to work with the special education teachers to help with accommodations and adaptations.
After talking with my mentoring team, this has given me confidence in working with students with IEP to maximize their education.
Manny, attending an IEP meeting is a great way to help familiarize yourself with the IEP process and to make sure that you are meeting the needs of students in terms of their accommodations and modifications. Working with the other adults on students' teams, such as special education teachers, case managers, and parents, can also help you to create the best possible learning environment.
