Having Trouble Writing IEPs?
|
Good morning, I few months ago, I was getting myself back into a routine and then a HUGE monkey wrench got thrown in the operation. I got pregnant. And the first trimester was a doozy. Just surviving the end of the school year and our musical performances was almost too much to handle. Now, I'm on summer break and heading into calmer waters, so I am getting back on my feet. This week's blog post is about what I do over the summer to prep for the beginning of school. I know a lot of people put work away for the summer, but the idea of going into Labor Day blind gives me such anxiety that I do some work to prep during my time off. Also, I've been trying to spend more time on my TpT Store and one of the biggest things I have wanted to do is give some of my images a facelift. I started with one of my most popular products. Check it Out! I just finished: This is a four book series that was phenomenal. I inhaled these books! Fortunately my library had them in stock so I didn't have to wait long between them. They are about a group of kids in their late teens who have natural abilities to help them solve crimes. If you like criminal minds and young adult fiction I can not recommend this enough! Currently Reading: This book is my Everest. I have started it three times and I keep picking up other things in the meantime. Now that I am purposefully slowing down this summer, I am hoping to finally finish it! I have the prequel that goes with House of the Dragon and I want to get through the original 5 GoT books so I can read it. Have a great week! XOXO |

We’ve officially entered the end of year chaos, although I'm sure some of you are on summer vacay... students forgetting how chairs work behavior routines disappearing overnight missing assignments magically appearing at the worst possible time and approximately 900 things that somehow “need to be finished before summer” Middle school special education in...
Hey there, Let’s talk about progress monitoring for a second. Not the ideal, color-coded, perfectly-organized version… I mean the real version:– Sticky notes you swear you’ll enter later– Data sheets you can’t find when you actually need them– Trying to remember if you collected anything for that one goal last week 👀 Somehow, something that sounds simple turns into one more overwhelming thing on your plate. Here’s the truth no one really says out loud: Progress monitoring isn’t hard because...
Hi Reader, Let’s talk about IEP meetings. You know the feeling, the calendar reminder pops up and suddenly you’re questioning every data point you’ve ever collected. Did I update that goal?Where is that progress monitoring sheet?Why do I have 47 sticky notes but zero organization? It doesn’t have to be like that. I just published a new blog post that walks you step-by-step through how to prepare for an IEP meeting without the last-minute scramble (or the internal panic while flipping through...
