I am new to this forum and in a bind. I am looking for an advocate in my area to help me with my daughter's GIEP. I bet maybe someone has posted on this topic before, but I need help ASAP.
My daughter's GIEP states that the district will provide reports every three weeks (six week grading periods) regarding how teachers are differentiating her instruction/assignments. This was added at the end of last year. Since the beginning of the school year, I have received ONE report from 3 of 4 teachers. One stated the extent of the differentiate was asking harder questions during discussion and another essentially said no differentiate occured. (The third was acceptable.)
Needless to say, we have requested to meet with the admin and teachers. I have been looking everywhere I can to find an advocate to go with me or advise me. We already contacted PAGE and the state of PA without any success. I would be grateful beyond belief if anyone could advise us on finding an advocate.
I am a teacher so I know their language. When I called PDE, they said I could file a complaint. This upcoming meeting is my last attempt to fix this before I....???
