[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What grade? It sounds appropriate to me. I wouldn’t be afraid of it. Inclusion is overrated for kids who are behind and need a lot of support. A spade is a spade. You have to put your ego etc. aside. [/quote]

Wow. It isn't about ego. It is about a kid getting further behind because of covid and services not being all that great over zoom. 
It about trying to make sure the school isn't taking the easiest path vrs the best bath for a child. It's about knowing what to ask to make sure whatever classroom or services are the best to move a child forward.[/quote]

You say scared and terrified etc., but your child is not learning. What does your child need. Is it possible to get the kind of support she needs in a gen Ed classroom. This isn’t ego as you’re thinking about if, just your own preconceived ideas and ideals. Those need to be set aside. It isn’t working for her.[/quote]

Last time I was told about there self contained t[b]hey said it was oh for IEP goals not attempting grade level work[/b]. We have other services to work on IEP goals.  So, I don't understand being in a classroom that doesn't try to move kids forward with academic work when possible.

They are correct and I think you misunderstand because you're so new on the special ed road.  The IEP goals should reflect what the student can reasonable achieve in one year.  Of course, everyone wants students to meet grade level expectations but the specialized instruction provided in the self-contained classroom is geared towards ensuring students meet their goals, not grade level expectations.  The difference is subtle but important.  It's also one of the reasons why students from different grades (at least in early elementary) may be in the same self-contained classroom.

If your DC's goals are set that they are aiming to achieve grade level expectations, then that's the type of instruction your child will receive in the self-contained classroom. [/quote]

How does one write grade level goals into an IEP??  Examples for 1-2 grade?[/quote]
