Student-Led Isn't Just for Conferences

Giving students ownership of their learning and learning needs builds skills for future success as students lead their own IEPs.

A 7th grader led his IEP with a self-designed PowerPoint of his schedule, strengths, weaknesses, and accommodations.

In February I ask you to take a risk in your instruction, and as you reflect on your progress on that, consider how often kids take risks each day.  A student presenting their IEP to a group of adults, including their parents, teachers, counselor, and principal is definitely a risk!
