You’ve probably been told: “Create an About Me profile for your child.”
So you did.
You poured your heart into it: what works, what doesn’t, your vision, your child’s strengths, what they love to spend time doing, & much more.
At the beginnning of each school year you have a ritual of giving it to the staff who work with your child.
You're filled with hope that this will be the year the teachers will finally understand your child not only how they learn best, but what lights them up, and the support they need and don't need in the general education classroom.
But three months later…
You're still hearing:
🗨️ “Oh, I didn’t know that.”
🗨️ “No one told me about that

🗨️ “We’ll try that next time.”

evaluate what your child knows and what they've learned.
This Thursday we’re digging into the three biggest mistakes you've unknowingly made when sharing your child’s profile and what to do instead.
