Gutsy Tales Off the Rails

About five years ago, a colleague in the National Speakers Association asked me why I do what I do. I gave him the answers most educators would give. He said, "that's not an explanation of why you are so passionate. What is the REAL reason you do what you do?" It took a moment, but I started to get what he was asking. He wanted to know what sparked my passion to serve students and parents in the college process. I confess that I was not sure myself. Sometimes, you have to dig deep to figure out why you do what you do. In my case, my passion for education happened some time between second grade and my own journey to college. As I thought about how I got from second grade to where I am, I realized that my own early barriers to getting the best education created my passion to help others do the same. The revelations of digging deep resulted in the lead story in a collection of true tales of courage with a twist by my eight awecome co-authors: Gutsy Tales Off the Rails published August 25, 2018 by KWE Press and available now on Amazon.com Any parent who has ever been discouraged by advice about their child will enjoy this amusing and inspiring story about the importance of encouragement and courage in student success. |

The ABC's of IEP's and College
Posted on October 25, 2012 at 5:31 PM |

Recently, students began running into a roadblock to getting continued help when they entered college. The roadblock is that some colleges are telling families that the assessment testing that is the basis for their IEP is too old and that without a recent assessment they don't have to help the student. Unfortunately, the timing of this discovery is after high school graduation and the high school will not do an additional assessment because the student is no longer enrolled. The option left to the family is to get a private assessment. The private assessment can be very expensive. Parents of students with an IEP should consider requesting a new evaluation at the end of the junior year or beginning of the senior year so that they have a recent evaluation to provide colleges. If the high school will not provide a new evaluation, parents should consider talking to local private providers to see if a group rate is possible. |
