A Busy Month


Hello Dear Readers,

November is going to be a busy month for me. I have 8 IEPs this month, with three of them being Tri’s. I’ve already completed WJIV on one of the students. Next week, I will complete testing on the other two. So, wish me luck, dear readers. I’m going to be super busy!!!

A 14 minute I.E.P.!!!


Dear Reader,

14 minutes to hold and facilitate an I.E.P.!!! I have the facilitation of my I.E.P.s down to a science. Some may not believe me, but, I’m here to tell you that it can and has been done.

My IEPs are tight. So tight, in fact, that I had to go back and check to ensure that everything was discussed; and it was!

My secret (Nothing groundbreaking): I talk to the parents ahead of time so they don’t hijack the meetings. I could say more, but that’s a whole other post. (2) I speak with all stakeholders. Once you speak with all stakeholders, the IEP meeting just flows. (3) I use Google Slides. That way, I manage myself and all participants.

So, there you have it. As I said, it’s nothing groundbreaking. It’s just doing the work on the back end to make everything on the front end easier.

If you’d like a copy of the Google slides, you’ll have to pay for that on my upcoming Teachers Pay Teachers store.

Stay tuned!

Graphing WJIV Scores! Part 2


Hi Dear Readers,

Here’s the link to the previous post (click here) where I discussed graphing WJIV scores. At the time, I hadn’t chosen scores for Superior and Very Superior because I had not yet tested anyone who scored that high. Well, now I have. So, I have to choose colors for those categories. I think I’ll choose Dark Blue for Superior & Plum for Very Superior.

Stay tuned for my next post about my 18 minute I.E.P.!
