hahaIt varies wildly by school, state, etc. I've gotten IEP's from other teachers where the PLOP was one sentence long and others that were a full typed page.
I usually try for at least a paragraph (or two/three) depending on how involved the student is, the area the PLOP is for etc.
JeffThere really isn't any particular length a PLOP should be. Just be sure to describe any gains the student obtained and then get into the stuff they will need to work on the next school year.
I am obtaining my MEd in Curriculum and Instruction: ABA, but realized that my area has no opportunity for supervision to become a BCBA. Also, I would prefer teacher over doing BCBA work. If I enroll in a credential program, do you guys think I can transfer credits from my current program to the credential program?
Ultimately, what job d...See MoreReally difficult to say from the outside looking in. I would start with your advisor or someone from your current school who could advise you on their specific programs and requirements. Barring that, try contacting some representatives from schools with programs that you would like to complete and see what they say.
This story is told with the same heart and charm as Wonder by RJ Palacio, but has more of an emphasis of the everyday interworking of the life inside a Special Education classroom that you all know so well! :) I hope this book brings readers encouragement and practical ideas on how they can work through their own anxiety.
Interview Date: ___...See MoreHi My name is Joshua Prisk. I'm an education major at the University of La Verne and part of our final is to ask a few questions to a Special Education Teacher. If you have the time, do you think any of you could answer these questions for me? I'd really appreciate it
1. Does ULS track data when students are in Student View? If it does, how do I locate the data collected?
2. Is there a way to visually show which lessons a student has completed when in Student View? Also, is there a way to save a student's lesson progress in Student View, so they don't have to start at the beginning levels every time?
My name is Danielle Smith, and I am a student in the Community Health Department at the State University of New York at Potsdam. I am working on an Honors Program research project with Dr. Brent Crow (PhD, CHES), also of the Community Health Department. The purpose of this project is to investigate assess school-wide access, attitudes, quality of services, and staff coordination regarding mental health in high schools in the United States.
If you are a principal or administrator, guidance counselor, mental health worker, student health services worker, teacher, or special education professional at a public high school in the United States, we could use your help in this project. Please note that your involvement is completely voluntary. Should you choose to participate, we would kindly ask that you complete the survey by clicking here if you have not already done so: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FKYX8N3. It should take no more than fifteen minutes, and your responses will be kept anonymous.
Any questions may be directed to myself by sending an email to smithd198@potsdam.edu. Dr. Crow can also be reached for correspondence via email to crowbm@potsdam.edu or by phone at (315) 267-2124. Thank you very much for your time and your consideration.
I am having trouble passing the MTTC Autism Spectrum Disorder Test. I have used study guides, taken a practice test and even got tutoring services to no avail. I will get promoted at my school if I pass this test. Anyone know how I get actual questions and material for the test. Please write back. Thanks.
SpedTeacher74Has an FBA been conducted? If he has a behavior disorder, he will need behavior goals OR a BIP in place. If no FBA has been done, then I would request one. That will guide you on what you need write goals for and address in the school environment.
mscrawford101Your very first priority is to put all of the stuff you've read/heard about this kid and focus on building a very strong relationship with him. In my experience if you hook this kids and get them excited that you are their person, a lot of the other stuff gets much easier!
