1. Digging deep into the “why” behind every need/top priority area

2. Child studies can be done efficiently even during virtual schooling!

# data[].attributes.body
1. Making changes to the environment to optimise learning

2. Collaborate more closely with the team and with parents on structures that work and use it consistently across settings

3. Spend more time implementing goals from the vision statement

# data[].attributes.body
Q 1) how often do you have a case study on a child? I mean after how much duration. Is it only while transitioning to High School? Then do you have followup meetings, how often, is there a structure for it?

Q 2) In the case study video I saw all the educators coming up with their interpretation of break downs, and I am sure all of them are professionals,
Can we as well make such interpretations in our capacity in our setup?

Q3) what does the column of "employment" in the vision statement connote? Does gateway also plan out the child's future emplyment skills? Is there something more to it?

# data[].attributes.body
1) I learnt that as an inclusive leader/educator we have great responsibility, we should have thorough observation of every child , and how to collaboratively discuss and brainstorm on the break downs certain children face, and comeup with different strategies to help them.

2) we should document each and every specific detail of a child in a structured manner (strength,needs) and also have specific goals to help him/her, and also involve his/parents in the process.

3)should built upon the child's strengths to help him/her overcome his/her needs and struggles.

# data[].attributes.body
1) will try to identify children in my class having some kind of sensory or emotional break down in my capacity, try to document my observations their strengths  and needs. Will have a meeting with their parents after that.

2) will also make my vision clear for different children in the grade I am teaching.
At the beginning will have a 1 year realistic vision atleast, what change all the teachers collectively who comes in contact with them can bring forth. Like for a child facing problem with inhibitory control, what will all the teachers collectively do, what strategies they will apply collectively and what improvement we can expect from it.

3) Atleast will train teachers to have a growth mindset and to not leave out any child. They should stop and think about children struggling in their classes. Collaborate with other teachers to bring about improvement in them, communicate with their parents as time permits.
Will try to inculcate a mindset that to include all the children in the class is part of their job and in the circle of influence.

# data[].attributes.body
1) I want to know more about HYPOTONIC - didn't quite get the concept. Which category does it falls in scientifically.
2) From where has these indicators of IEP have been derived?

# data[].attributes.body
The vision statement document is a comprehensive 5-year map that describes what stakeholders aim for in terms of a student's employment, education and home and community heavily taking account their interests and areas of strengths and needs.

This then lends to the IEP/SEP bridging the gap between present levels and future goals.

Annapurna - How are the key areas for a child's vision plan identified by the team?

# data[].attributes.body
Annapurna
1. The importance of taking into account the perspective of different educators who work with the child because the chances are that they have different experiences working with the child and can bring different perspectives to the table.
2. Child Study meeting courtesies and manner of conducting the meeting. Systematically organized to allow all the key stakeholders to have a voice.

# data[].attributes.body
Annapurna
1. The importance of collaborating. While the child could be experiencing language based challenges that could manifest in different classes, the language teacher and speech pathologist jointly came up with strategies to address the challenge that all the educators could possibly support.
2. Having a goal that is clearly explained with examples of how it looks/doesn't look like with clear measures of progress.
3. Also guiding and giving parents the tools to continue working with the child at home. This builds consistency for the child and helps them to get more practice and master the skill. A lot of times, parents do not know how to support the child at home and hence the child sees different practices at home and in school. This could lead to a lot of confusion for the child.

I learnt that the biggest benefit of making a vision statement for a child is, it will keep me focused on giving my student the best i can offer, and ultimately it will benefit the child.
2- How important it is to understand the SE needs of the child specially if when we are shaping a young mind.

# data[].attributes.body
1) Focus on every single child in our class no child should be left out and a detailed document should be made of every child.
2) Would share the vision document with every single stakeholder .

2) Secondly, How important is to discuss it with the parents and some parts of it to the students as well, as to own imperfections which are innate in nature and try to do things which help mitigate it.

# data[].attributes.body
Involving parents as well as other team members is very important while an IEP .

Vision plans and home plan should include some visuals if it involves speech therapy activities at home

# data[].attributes.body
1) Visuals can be included for speech sounds production

2) combination of speech and audio activities together would make learning fun and comprehensive

3) Easy to acheive goals in the beginning , and as child starts enjoying the activities gradually increase difficulty level with active participation from child.

1. we have a personalized dairy in our schools called as "malaf", which consists of students profile and a basic background, filling that dairy accurately can definitely help in designing students vision statement.

2.  try to write my students strengths, weaknesses and needs.

3. we often meet parents for the Childs progress but hardly write down the meeting notes, so i will try to write the parent meeting minutes to keep a track.

How to engage parents in upbringing a child?
IEP is definitely a wonderful process for uplifting a child overall. But parents simultaneously should be involved throughout this whole process. At times, parents are too dependent on teachers and refrain from participating in this entire movement. What is the minimum period to plan a child’s IEP?

# data[].attributes.body
1) Each an every move of a child depicts his/her thoughts and nothing should be passed by without full focus on it. IEP was one of the finest ever study i have seen and i am truly amazed by this depth. The deeper the ocean, the more beautiful the view of it.
2) The more you study a child’s mind, the more you are in love with it. Innocence is the best word we can define for a developing child. There is nothing to a child can be blamed for. Just dive in the oceans of a child’s mind and we’ll find amazing treasures.

My observation and my goals? Or parents demands?

# data[].attributes.body
1. The strengths and areas of needs must be clearly transparent between the teacher and the parents , in order to achieve the betterment of student i.e vision / goal.

2. Keep track of each and every doing of particular student - his learnings, his behavior with mates, his lifestyle etc - in short a complete profile of the student.

3. I would take with me the learning that - Vision / goal should be measurable and extreme specific in each and every area of improvements.

# data[].attributes.body
1. All the facilitators / specialists sit together and give their expert inputs with specific examples in regards with the student. It shows that how keenly each and every master of their field are studying the child from their own perspective.

2. "Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision."
The above quote was clearly visible in the video of child study. All the team members were supporting, suggesting and clearing their thoughts to channelize the exact / core problem of the student.
