[quote=Anonymous][quote]...Would you really have us NEVER discuss students without parents present? That would make it very difficult to do our job. We send our draft goals home to the parents at least 3 days before an IEP meeting so they can review them beforehand, just as the psychologist meets separately with parents at least 3 days before an elig. meeting to discuss the test results. If we meet before the official meeting, we are not plotting or hoarding resources--we are sharing our assessment results, discussing similiarities or interesting findings, considering possible factors in student performance, etc. All of which is intended to improve the outcome for the students, AND make sure the meeting is run in a professional and informed manner...

I'm 13:53.  I have absolutely no problem with your approach and, in fact, would expect this of teachers.  But, I've had too many experiences where the school staff [b]have[/b] had meetings to get on the same page and to pre-determine services/delivery options.  I've been denied meaningful participation in the development of the IEP or not been provided sufficient information or time to make informed decisions.  IME, you are in the minority and that's a realy shame.[/quote]
