February 3, 2004 Field Advisory

Program participants

At the field advisory, participants broke into three groups. Here ways of better knowing students were discussed. A teacher in a classroom can find what student's preferred work style is, get to know their family, use work samples, or interview the child to better know him.

Students share experiences

For members of the IEP team, getting to know the student centers around private interviews, administering of standardized tests, or review of previous IEPs and school records. Each member of the team can provide a different piece of the puzzle.
