Importance of

Teacher Input

Input of teacher

Classroom teacher understand the students strength and weakness. Classroom teacher helps met specific learning goals of the student by using accommodation and modification. Over all, classroom teachers always try their best in meeting their learning

needs. Teachers take the responsibility to communicate with

parents, principals, and collaborate with the special education

teacher. Most importantly, the classroom teacher

understands and knows the students need.

Function

Function

- They would suggest program placements , which should be followed by IEP

Assessments

Assessment

The IPRC takes a lot at different assessments of the student. They must consider the students educational assessments. Not only educational assessments but physical and mental assessments. This includes psychological, psychiatric, health, audiological, social, work, speech and required. With that being said, having a conversion with the parent and student over 16 years old if given permission.

WHAT'S

NEXT?

Conclusion

If I were to present to my colleagues it is important for them to understand the importance of IPRC and what IPRC is. If I didn't take this course, I wouldn't of had an idea of what IPRC is and what protocol to take . Just like I didn't no certain information, there might be other colleagues who might not know what IPRC or have knowledge of the steps and their functions. I want classroom teachers to understand that their input is crucial to IPRC. With that being said, teachers should understand that there are many types of exceptional and in different areas. Learning about the IPRC can help teachers understand how to help a student with special needs and its precaution. Keeping it mind that, it is not a process that happens over night !
