You can’t meaningfully present an IEP for a student you don’t know.
This former educator describes being given paperwork on a Friday and expected to present at an IEP meeting Monday morning, sometimes for students she says she had never taught or even met.
The pressure wasn’t simply about completing paperwork. She was being asked to speak as the special educator and contribute to decisions about a student without firsthand knowledge of that student’s needs, skills, or progress.
An IEP is supposed to be individualized. The people contributing to it need meaningful information about the student, not just a deadline and a stack of paperwork.
