Recommended Posts

I subscribe to Understood.org's e-mails. They sent a series of links that was basically a primer on the evaluation process, and I thought it was nice to have them all in one place. Unfortunately, there is no page on their site (that I could find easily) that has all the links on them. I copied them below. Feel free to chime in with other good articles on the subject.

Wow, this is great, thank you! I wish there was a standard process to go through for evaluations. I mean, every district has their own ways that are vaguely the same, but why can't there be a national process that's spelled out clearly? *dreaming!*

 

Have you been to the IDEA website? https://sites.ed.gov/idea/

 

It can be helpful to have the federal information to keep your district in line.
