This past week I had a parent conference, 1 SST and 3 IEP's before school started (7:30a-7:45a). I truly know and understand the importance of all these meetings, but is the frequency of such meetings imperative? I teach for my students like you all do and I believe in our classes we can truly make a difference in most of these students lives. However; it appears some of these meetings are conducted without a purpose and more of a matter of fact. I just think if we can communicate via e-mail unless a problem arises this may be better not only for our time management as teachers, but for the students as well. I am all for productive meetings and assisting our students to be successful (via modifications or pathway direction). However; to meet just to say we did it following procedure or to fill out and sign a few forms is non-productive. Call me crazy, but I am now on this keeping my plate full with a little margin and I don't need any non-essential calories.....
All your posts have been awesome and I know I learn from each and everyone I read. I think some of you all should have been comedians or professional journalist. I know this is hard for all of us for many different reasons, but I am with you all this is productive and I am learning a bunch!
Look forward to hearing from you all tomorrow night!
