Regular Teacher's Role

When developing an IEP for a student, the parents usually know their child best however when their child is in the classroom, the teacher is able to see how the child does. They are able to know what the child struggles with most. They are able to relay observations that resulted in creating an IEP. The teacher knows how the child interacts with the other students and is able to judge on how the child is reacting. The teacher will ultimately be the one (most likely) implementing the IEP as not all children would receive an aide in which helps the specific child. The teacher is able to communicate with the IEP team as to what is working and not working in the classroom.
