Introducing The Intentional IEP

Progress monitoring is used to assess students' academic performance, and gauge the the responsiveness to what the child is learning. It doesn't have to be a tedious, difficult, or time consuming task. Sharing the simple system that has worked for me for over 4 years, and it's free. Blog post at Mrs. D's Corner.

Stephanie DeLussey, Master IEP Coach🙋🏻‍♀

Stephanie DeLussey, Master IEP Coach🙋🏻‍♀️ that’s me! You see, my dream in education has always been to teach beyond the classroom in some sort of consultant position for a district. Then I left the classroom due to my anxiety and quite honestly lost myself for a few years. 2 years to be exact. And in January 2020, I feel like I got a fresh start when I “graduated” therapy. I put the trauma in my past, worked through it, and found my place of healing. I started @theintentionaliep in May 2020 and then somewhere along the way I knew I wanted to do more. I realized I wanted to reach more teachers, more families... more IEP teams. One day @catherinewhitcher popped into my recommended IG feed and she was exactly the breath of fresh air I needed in the special education world. I have big plans for @theintentionaliep in the coming months, and I’m excited to help you write better IEPs in less time - because you deserve it and most importantly, your students deserve the services that will help them grow and succeed, and ultimately - students deserve a cohesive IEP team that is focused on furthering the student’s education, employment, and independent living. Together we will change special ed and break the current narrative. Ya know, the “it’s not in the budget,” “we don’t offer that service” narrative. Because we can do better for our students and their families. We need to. Are you with me?!🙋🏻‍♀️

What are your favorite read alouds for 🦃Novembe

What are your favorite read alouds for 🦃November? I have to be honest, October through January are my largest sections of the classroom library. So many amazing books! I usually have to change books out every other week so students get a chance to see them all. It also means we usually get extra story time and book enjoyment time! 📚

END OF A CHAPTER • We are officially saying good

END OF A CHAPTER • We are officially saying goodbye to Georgia today, and I’m never looking back😆 kind of kidding, but in all seriousness a lot of healing and a lot of good life has happened over the last 2.5 years. On the left is when we closed on our GA house, and on the right is a few weekends ago (when we went under contract to sell the GA house). But to share the good parts of life over the last 2.5 years from my perspective🤪: 1. I shared my anxiety journey for the first time ever with y’all when we moved to GA. April 2018
2. And I freaking graduated therapy (via virtual therapy sessions with my therapist in TX)🥳. January 2020.
3. I started and finished reading the Harry Potter series for the first time ever. Early 2020.
4. I fell back in love with life and nature, and most memorably Momma 🦌. I think I’ll miss her the most.
5. I self published my first two children’s books in this house.
6. We learned we never want to live in an HOA again😅. And while there’s a whole lot else that happened during our time in Georgia...
7. We finally made our dreams come true and decided to move to Florida. 🏝 in the middle of a pandemic.😷 and we regret nothing. So here’s to doing what’s best for you regardless of all the surrounding noise of life. Protecting your health, mental and physical, and finding the people in your life who matter. Chasing dreams. And most of all here’s to living life, loving life, enjoying life.

Adapted Book Club • Bonuses ends tonight! I also

Adapted Book Club • Bonuses ends tonight! I also want to share answers to your most common ABC questions to help you make your decision today, so you still get access to all of the great bonuses. ❓I can't get find the coupon code! Help!
First, make sure what you're re-downloading is an adapted book bundle. Adapted Work Binders and Adapted Piece Book Sets are not adapted book bundles. Then watch the video to learn how to retrieve that coupon code. ❓Do you accept purchase orders?
At the current time, I do not have the capability to accept purchase orders through the Adapted Book Club website. Sorry for any inconvenience. ❓Do you have an option to join yearly instead of monthly?
Yes, when you go to the Join ABC page - scroll all the way to the bottom and you'll see the yearly options. ❓What's all included in Adapted Book Club?
All adapted books from my TpT shop, both bundles and individual books. Plus exclusives that are only in ABC. Over the next 2 weeks, I'll also be adding the adapted books from the Life Skills Curriculum too. Those will show up in the Library. ABC doesn't close forever tonight. You can join at any time, on any day. But the bonuses, the $50 coupon code, and the pricing all disappears tonight at midnight EST. So if you're on the fence still and maybe have a question or two (or three or four) lingering in your head - shoot me an email! I'm on standby to answer any and all questions you have. And here's the link to join >> www.adaptedbookclub.com

Daily and Weekly Data Collection • Sticky notes

Daily and Weekly Data Collection • Sticky notes are my best friend when it comes to collecting data on student progress. It’s the simple system I’ve used for years, and it’s the one I teach over at @theintentionaliep because it works. But what about after you collect the data? What do you do with the sticky notes? 1. I despise having to submit lesson plans. I do it because it’s part of my job duties. But you have your weekly plans, I’m much more paper-pencil, so you can print them if you choose. Also, side note: I took pictures of this 2 weeks ago 😆so the lesson plans in the picture are the ones I sent out via email 2 weeks ago. PS. I send free weekly lesson plans every Wednesday night. Anyway, whether you print your LPs or not, I have a one page sheet for weekly progress monitoring in addition to the LP. Why? Because lesson plans don’t always go as planned, sometimes we stray from the plans, sometimes we get to do more than what’s planned, and sometimes we scrap the plans altogether because it’s what best for the kids. ALL of my students are on this sheet. It covers all of the things each student did each day as well as their grade (whether participation grade or correct/total responses)... so I’m covering progress monitoring AND GRADES all in one place. Sticky notes are what happens during the lesson. It’s how I take data, it’s quick and easy, and I can take data anywhere, at any time, on any thing. At the end of the day (or week), I have a pile of sticky notes and I’ll go through and fill in the week’s weekly progress monitoring sheet. At the end of the week, I put any grades into the grade book. Any progress data gets out into student data binder rings, and then this sheet gets stored in a file folder in the filing cabinet. Simple. Easy. And I have proof of what students worked on each day, with data. Now this post is a collection of A LOT of things, and I’ll link the newsletter so you can get the weekly lesson plans >> bit.ly/MDCnewsletter But if you want links to anything else, let me know!
