[quote=Anonymous][quote]If your kid has X number of hours on their IEP, and those X hours are interpreted in the way that your district has always interpreted them, and your child needs more services, because they aren't making the expected progress, then you increase them. Since everyone on the IEP team, including the parent, clearly knows that the IEP wasn't implemented in the same way during PARCC that it was the rest of the year, writing it in the IEP won't make any difference.

My agenda is to get teachers and parents working together to actually make a difference for kids. Attacking teachers because they spend their time working on behalf of kids, not changing the way things are recorded on forms, is absurd. Micromanaging teachers to the degree that they can't use their training and knowledge of the situation to do what's best for kids, can lead down a very bad path. I've seen it.[/quote]

I sincerely hope you are not a special educator or administrator.  If you are, you need to show this thread to a due process specialist in your central office so you can get some remedial training.  One of the things the IEP should specify is where the service hours are received.  It should not be open to 'interpretation'.  If the IEP isn't being implemented as written, it's a problem even if 'everyone on the IEP team' knows it. This is why there are so many forms, disclaimers, PWN, etc.  It's because, contrary to your assertions does NOT know this happens - as the OP and many of the posters on this thread has demonstrated.  The IEP is exactly where you document anything impacting the implementation of the IEP as it is written.  I can't believe you haven't learned 'documentation or it didn't happen' - which makes it clear you have very limited experience in this area.

I won't even address your ridiculous assertions in your second paragraph.  [/quote]
