Charley's Classroom

*UPDATED APRIL 28TH, 2019*(I originally created this Teacher Input Questionnaire in 2014. Since then, I have included a Google Form and I have been tweaking it for my classroom use and I am finally uploading the updated form for all of you!)Preparing for an IEP report or any other evaluation report can be quite stressful and incredibly time consuming. Although I can’t make it easier for you – trust me I wish I could :) , I can at least provide you with a little bit of help when having to ask

All of my input questionnaires for IEPs and Evaluation Reports in one spot! Google Forms are included with each input questionnaire. If you are new to using Google Forms I have provided easy to follow Google Form instructions. The time it takes to create and set-up a Google Form (and it's collection spreadsheet) I have done for you! ...because let's be real, as teachers we need all the extra time we can get.

Once students turn 14 they are invited to their IEP meeting and take on more of an active/vocal role. They also start planning for their life after high school - otherwise known as transition. However, when I was an elementary learning support teacher, I felt like my students should have a voice in their IEP planning process, as well as start thinking about what they want to do/become when they are older.

UPDATED 5/1/2020: Now includes link to Google Slides for digital use. I completely swoon over anchor charts I see teachers have in their classroom. It's like teacher artwork - haha, but they just aren't practical in my learning support classroom.
