Think about the times that your team or school articulate student progress to other staff:Some times might be:

At the end of the school year to discuss the students with the next grade level’s teachers

At IIT( Instructional Intervention Team) Meetings or SST ( Student Support Team)At quarterly data discussionsDuring transition meetings to the next level for students

with disabilitiesWhat other times can you think of?What is it important to articulate to other teachers?

What is discussed during articulation meetings?It should include topics such as how the student

learns bestThe student’s learning styleTheir progress during the previous period or

yearHelpful information that will aid the teacher in

building a positive relationship with the studentWhat it should not include is:

Negative talk about the student or the family

Conduct conferences with studentsHave students determine their own areas

of weakness and strength but evaluating their own work
