April is IEP Makeover Month!

If you struggle to write IEP goals that help children thrive in school and in life, then I invite you to join a private FB group!

Each week-day in April, I'll be using a time-tested and research-based formula to makeover some of the most challenging IEP goals.

As a community, we'll work to give IEPs for preschoolers a much needed makeover by co-creating goals that are measurable and meaningful!

And, if you haven't in the past, you might want to download the FREE Pre-K Teach & Play IEP Toolkit at https://prekteachandplay.com/get-iep-toolkit. We'll be using the formula shared in the toolkit as the basis for making over IEP goals.

Kristiepf Symbaloo Main Webmix

Updated links 12-22-16: Symbaloo provides a visual organizer of web-based resources on what is called a webmix.

On any given webmix, you’ll find pictures/images called tiles. Each title is a hyperlinked web-based resource, or a hyperlink to a sub-webmix of related resources.

On the KristiePF main webmix, you will find a set of primary tiles related to professional development and learning (e.g., andragogy, five moments of need). Each of these primary tiles takes you to sub-webmix with 100s of additional resources.

Also off the main webmix, you’ll find a tile for my publications and a variety of ways to connect using social media (e.g., YouTube, FaceBook, LinkedIn).
