[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At ours is MCPS, the middle school lead sped teacher was there. We did not spend a lot of time on goals, but more on what the instruction would look like. We spoke of supported classes, resource class, etc. I left a bit upset that we had no time for goals (sort of strange) but a pretty good idea of what her day would be like.[/quote]

This was my experience as well with one caveat. I requested that the MS rep be present. Another thing I did was request a team meeting for the first week of school. It was tough to arrange but we had every teacher present. [/quote]

Requesting a meeting during the first week of school doesn't seem respectful of the other students and teachers. Surely, you could wait a few weeks to meet since the middle school representative took time to attend your ES meeting and then shared specific information regarding your child to the new teachers prior to the start of school.

You have an odd definition of 'respectful'.  I question your experience if you think waiting a few weeks for a critical meeting is a good idea and that the MS representative can communicate as effectively to teachers about a student as the parent and the student himself can.  It will also have been at least 3 months since the MS rep attended the IEP meeting.  Her memory wouldn't exactly be 'fresh'.  We try to schedule our meetings the week before school starts but I understand if it has to happen the first week.[/quote]

Good to see that you are so "understanding."  :roll: [/quote]
