I really like the idea of using the concepts of circles and talking sticks when talking about a student's strengths,
very positive!

Mini 1:1 lesson with student about what he/she wants to work on as opposed to other people speaking for them

I think this might help with parent/guardian involvement too. If we can allow them to feel comfortable, we might get more input.

Even students who are not able to verbalize or write a presentation are able to have some role!  And they don't need to attend the whole meeting if that is too much.

To see how we can make students more apart of their IEP meeting.

To have students take ownership of their future!

Student voice can be expressed through Powerpoints, other presentations which the student designs and/or leads.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the idea of showing videos and pictures at the beginning. I used to do this more and this was a great reminder to just make it part of the process.

1.  Send home a questionairre or have interpreter call to inquire about things parents would like us to work on, things they are struggling at home. Ask for permission to invite county social worker.
2. Have pre-IEP meeting with support staff to create suggestions for goals/obj. or brain storm problem solving.
3. Create slideshow featuring child showing what they are doing.

I ask students to show how they "shine" through talents, work examples, or having the student teach a parent a skill they learned.

Excited for my first meeting.

# data[].attributes.body
I have been trying to do this already but am excited to expand. There are some parents that do not want their child at the meeting and there are some students that refuse to attend their IEP meeting. The earlier this process can start the better!

# data[].attributes.body
Already planning to expand on another activity to incorporate this into our year

# data[].attributes.body
I love the idea of using a powerpoint with pictures of the students learning that they can present.  I could even do this with my little k-2 kids.   With their attention spans, I'd maybe just have the student come for the beginning.
