I pass out peer-reviewed articles. I am a little bit of an advocate. I don't know if I can change LAUSD (big honking district), but I will pelt the GATE and special education departments with information.
Agh, seablue, I wouldn't have been so quick to suggest that you can be the change the world needs had I realized you were in LAUSD - that's a huge district! I am living in a much smaller school district
The flip side of being in a large metro area, though, is that statistically speaking there must be relatively large numbers of 2e parents out there, somewhere, so maybe starting grass-roots by trying to network with other parents? Then as you gain size and vision as a group, that's when you try to make change within LAUSD?
I'm in a hurry so I have to leave with that comment, but I'l be back later to add a few thoughts
