As a teacher, I have continually supported parents and students, ensuring that students were receiving adequate and necessary accommodations and modifications for academic success. As a Method and Resource Teacher, I have facilitated many IPRC meetings, always advocating for students. My experience also includes sitting on the other side of the table as a parent. When my son was in Grade 3 at the Toronto Catholic District School Board, he was identified as exceptional. Even as a teacher, I recall feeling overwhelmed by the discussion(s) at his IPRC meeting(s). When he transitioned to Grade 9 and I attended the first parent/teacher interview, I found myself asking if his teachers knew that my son was exceptional and if they read his Individual Education Plan!
