Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To help Simon adjust to his new school, you can hold a brief in-service for all of Simon's teachers to educate them on the strategies that are in Simon's IEP. Simon's old school determined which strategies worked for Simon, and your school can follow through with these techniques. Most teachers do not have regular access to a student's IEP. So an in-service to educate them on strategies would be the most efficient method for communicating this information.
