Season 3 Episode 11: Alphabet Soup for Educators- FBAs, BIPs, and the IDEA!
Class Act: Updates in Education Law
01/07/20 • 26 min
What is a functional behavior assessment? When is one required? How is this different from a Behavior Intervention Plan? Lisa and Miriam are joined by John Moenk, a law clerk and former school administrator, to discuss what federal law mandates when it comes to students with behavioral challenges. School administrators address misconduct on a daily basis, but some districts are more proactive and successful while others continue to struggle. This episode focuses on how to develop and implement behavior intervention plans (including conducting FBAs) that are meaningful and effective as opposed to perfunctory and redundant.

Season 3 Episode 10 : Top IEP Challenges Faced by School Teams
Class Act: Updates in Education Law
11/28/19 • 30 min
Happy Thanksgiving! In today's episode, Lisa and Miriam are joined by John Moenk, our law clerk, to discuss common difficulties in preparing Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) for students with special education needs. The IEP document reflects a school district's legal obligation to provide qualifying students with a free appropriate public education in their least restrictive environment. But what does that really mean? How should a team draft IEP goals and objectives? What exactly needs to be included in the Present Levels of Performance Section and why? What long term concerns should your teams be considering in determining a child's mastery levels, data collection methods, specially-designed instruction, and ways to measure progress?
Join us for an insightful conversation about common challenges and pitfalls school teams often face in developing IEPs under special education law and regulations. We practice law at Walter Haverfield in Cleveland, Ohio and we welcome your suggestions and comments.

Remote learning - an option many schools are implementing during the COVID-19 pandemic - undoubtedly comes with its own set of challenges.

What if a family opts for in-person learning, but then wants to switch mid-semester? Are students expected to follow the code of conduct when learning in pajamas at the dining room table?
