Hello 2021 and Happy New Year Everyone!

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I feel like the first half of the school year started off slow and then just sort of flew by and now we’re in the middle of the school year and my busy time is starting. That is…it’s time to get writing all of my students Individual Education Plans (IEP’s) for their upcoming annual reviews.

While this isn’t necessarily difficult and I don’t have very many students on my caseload right now, it’s still very time consuming. I probably spend at least 6 hours on each IEP that I write. It takes even more time when it’s a year where my students ETR’s or Evaluation Team Reports are also due. Then I have to fill out documents for the school psychologist to do the evaluations and wait for the results to be able to fill in those section(s) of the IEP. Needless to say my next post will revolve around IEP’s and what goes into developing them.

Anyways, I say again Hello 2021 and Happy New Year. I hope your new year is starting off to be a good one and if there are any topics or questions related to Special Education that you would like me to cover in my upcoming posts just let me know.
