Have you been in this situation at an IEP table?

It's your turn to explain testing results to parents and you don't know where to begin or how much to include. Your face is red, your neck is splotchy, your pits and palms are sweating and you're positive you're going to be fired on the spot as soon as the meeting is over.

Yep! Been there, done that!

For most special education teachers, summarizing achievement tests is a requirement and it's an aspect of the job that can be very overwhelming, especially when you don't have experience and have never been taught how to do it.
