    The ALSUP Writes Your IEP For You

    Well, we finally had our first program of the school year, and our primary focal point -- led by our newest co-host, Heidi O'Leary, Special Education Director in Topsham, Maine -- was on how to write a CPS-flavored IEP, driven by the Assessment of Lagging Skills and Unsolved Problems (ALSUP).

Brilliant!

I’m not an educator but I listened to all the parents episodes and now I’m listening to the educators episodes. I have to say the “Anytown” high school/elementary school episodes are amazing!! I learned so much from all the other episodes I’ve listened to over the last few months, but the Anytown episodes took learning the intricacies to another level. I was blown away honestly. I really can’t stop listening to these podcasts any chance I get. I’m going to be quite sad when I have no more to listen to 😂

Parent listening...

Even though I am not a teacher or administrator, I found listening to this podcast incredibly helpful. It helped me to know what concerns teachers may have in starting CPS & how to answer those. Wish there were new episodes :)

Trash

Yet another PhD trying to monetize a patchwork theory based on other people’s data tailored to support his claims.

If you are curious about their approach to science, listen to the 4/30/17 episode... they actually say that data are not everything. I’d be interested to find an employed physics researcher that continued to back their theory because “the data are not everything”.
