[quote=Anonymous]I would request a meeting with the teacher to go over what she is concerned about - which is what you are going to do anyway. She should have some work samples and testing data to show you to back up her claims.

I used to work with that age group in a public school, and it would take mountains and mountains of data to even get a meeting with intervention team members like the AP, the reading/math specialists, etc. I’m not talking about an evaluation. Just a regular meeting to discuss the what the student is struggling with and what interventions must be put in place.

I don’t know what the teacher is telling you OP. But your description of your kid does not sound like a child who should be struggling in Kindergarten so badly that he needs an evaluation. You’re working on stuff at home, you don’t see any issues, etc.

I suggest you wait until the conference and request to review your child’s data and work samples. What are his test scores like compared to other kids? What is he struggling with? She should have a ton of data if she’s implicitly telling you to ask for an evaluation. Because I’m pretty sure they will ask what interventions your kid has received. [/quote]
