The most popular question I get is: “I got a special education job, now what do I do?” You are not alone. So many new teachers struggle with what to do the first few weeks in a new school year.
I’m excited to introduce this week’s guest blogger, Dawn from Cultivating Exceptional Minds. She is here to talk all about ways to incorporate students in the data collection process! She also has a podcast called Be The Exception that you need to check out!

As a special educator, you may get an opportunity to share an IEP goal with your related service staff: Speech/Language Pathologist, Occupational Therapist, Physical Therapist, and Social Worker.
Special Education Parents, you are the only constant on the IEP team, so your vision for your child’s future is CRUCIAL to creating an effective IEP. You need to provide parent input statements for each IEP.
