I guess I would say it was a successful weekend. Funny that I have to think that way, as if my days are one big checklist of tasks and goals. My life’s IEP. Here’s what it would look like, if I had one:<\/p>\n
Description of student: <\/span> “Susan is a fairly bright, pleasant person with a strong sense of justice and aesthetics. Strengths are in parenting, writing, physical activity, and an ability to cut through the “bullshit.” Weak points are in modulating her emotions, organization, self-anesthetizing through food and other undesirables, and obsessing.”<\/p>\n Long-term goals, or where would you like to see the student 5 years from now?<\/span> “Susan should be more adept at managing mood swings, creating and maintaining structures that help her stay organized, utilizing healthy outlets for tolerating difficult feelings. She will have let two of her sons grow up and move out of the house, while guiding the youngest towards same. She should be utilizing her writing ability to earn more money and continue the perspicacity, running, bellydancing, and cycling without popping knees or wrenching hips. A haircut would be nice.”<\/p>\n How will you effect those goals?<\/span><\/p>\n 1) Organization a): Get Mr. Ned to go to Staples and pick out adequate binders, paper clips, highlighters, pens, etc., for teaching job. Use said binders 80% of the time. I accept the plan and placement as presented.__________________________________<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I guess I would say it was a successful weekend.
