I’ve been talking with so many fellow ECE {r}evolutionaries these past few weeks…and I see you and I hear you. In these unprecedented times, having to think about how best to support children on IEPs can feel overwhelming…and maybe even a bit scary.
And while information can help some of us with our anxiety…it can also add to the confusion and uncertainty. There are so many opinions and ideas coming from districts and everywhere you look on social media.
There are endless ideas and things being sent home with families on how best to “homeschool” students. Yet are these practices in line with our core values of family-guided practices, differentiation, and embedding during play and daily routines?
I thought I’d join the conversation – and take it in a slightly different direction.
In this bonus Pre-K Teach and Play podcast episode I’m joined by early childhood special education expert and professional development provider, Beth Diedrick.
Here are the big ideas that we cover in our conversation:
- Practices that support a strong home-school connection and partnership versus trying to “do school” at home.
- Considerations for children who have diverse abilities and an IEP in place – not from a legal perspective, but in terms of supporting their growth and development.
- Possibilities for our field – and ultimately our children – that are emerging in this time of uncertainty.
