Things we cannot say …of course he’s performing low, he’s from that part of town! …you know his father was just as bad …”those” kids just can’t learn like the rest of them! …how can _____ (AEA, state, federal government) expect us to meet the needs of these kids when they don’t come to school ready to learn? …she cannot achieve at grade level so we’re lowering our expectations of her …she cannot be in the general class with the rest of the kids
Things to Say Why can’t we… How can we… Why shouldn’t we… Who will help? What do we need to… What will it take to give this child the opportunities he/she needs to access the general curriculum?
When kids enter that school building, every child is part of the general school culture and every child is part of that school’s general education program.

Do 100% of the schools you support have teachers of students with IEPs who monitor progress frequently against grade level expectations AND who change instruction based on response to instruction?
A Healthy Education System • Every school should be engaged in alignment work to promote deeper levels of learning • 80% of children coming to school at or above benchmark on valid literacy measure • 80% of students proficient in general education • 10% identification rate in special education • 100% of schools implementing PBIS • 100% of schools reporting on targeted interventions in general education • 100% of IEPs are grade-referenced and progress monitored • 100% of students making at least one-year’s growth

Discussion • What ways can AEA staff support schools? • What policies and resources can the AEA 10 provide to our schools to support improving performance on the “healthy schools” indicators? • What conversations need to happen to coordinate the effort agency-wide?
Actions • Support early intervention and more uniform measurement • Implement Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports • Help teachers unpack the standards for the Iowa Core • Get buildings ready to engage in Response to Intervention
Help teachers write goals aligned to grade level performance • Help teachers interpret progress data • Support instruction: what do teachers do when students are not making progress?
EXPECT SUCCESS
