IEP training - volunteer

This week I volunteered at an IEP training with a few of my classmates from ED215. We were all told to choose a day to help volunteer and to experience what it's like to attend an IEP meeting with professionals and parents who are concerned or learning about IEP for their child(ren). As a volunteer, we had many tasks to complete. We set up a table of refreshments that included pizza, pasta, mini muffins and water then another table full of papers that were to be passed around when parents arrived and we set up tables and chairs for the guests. It was a great experience because I learned so much within the three hours I volunteered from the presentation of guest speakers and the concerns of parents.
