General Education Teachers and IEPs

It is important to have the general education teacher involved in the IEP process for a lot of reasons.  The first is they are with the child more than any other adult in the school. They see the student in a range of environments and situations and know the student best.  secondly, they need to be involved so that they can implement the IEP in the classroom.  The student should be in the classroom as much as possible and the teacher should never give up on them.
