Music Therapy & Related Issues

The Administrator....

This week I had the opportunity to complete an evaluation in an unnamed school district. The administrator gets my "hall of shame" vote for this week. She requested that I e-mail her the report prior to the meeting; so that she could review it with her "team". I--being a professional--assumed that meant the team that WORKED WITH THE CHILD! But when I arrived at the IEP meeting, I found that neither the special education teacher, the regular ed teacher, the speech therapist or occupational therapist had received a copy! Just what team did she review this report with???
Needless to say, I immediately passed out copies to the team members. I had e-mailed the parents a copy prior to the meeting, because I was sure this administrator would not bother to send them a copy. I can understand why parents get frustrated! YOWEE!
