Lesson 4 Journal - Kassidy Norman

This week we gained a greater understanding of IEP's and 504's. Something I found interesting was the six steps to the referral process. You first look at the initial concern regarding the students progress. You then gather the information and then share it with the team and discuss the issues. You also discuss the possible strategies that will help resolve the child. Implementing and monitoring the strategies they've given to the students. Lastly you evaluate and make the decisions that will essentially help the students. In class we got these six steps to the pre referral process all separated and we had to put them in order and it was a great way to learn the process in a hands on activity.
