Description

In this episode of Practical Access, hosts Lisa Dieker and Rebecca Hines welcome Joleigh Honey, a seasoned math educator and advocate for inclusive IEP (Individualized Education Program) goals in mathematics. Joleigh, with over 30 years of experience, shares insights into creating meaningful, grade-level math goals for students with disabilities. She emphasizes the importance of providing students with multiple, varied opportunities to access and demonstrate grade-level content, while also leveraging their unique strengths and experiences.

Joleigh discusses strategies for teachers working with students at varying levels of academic ability, offering guidance on developing IEP goals that are neither too narrow nor too vague. She encourages a shift from focusing on students' deficiencies to building on their assets, enabling a deeper and more confident understanding of math. She also addresses parents, advising them on how to engage with IEP goals and support their children at home.

The episode concludes with Joleigh’s recommendation of asset-based resources, including her co-authored book, Transforming Your Math Classroom Using Asset-Based Perspectives. This episode is a valuable listen for educators and parents alike, filled with practical advice on fostering success and confidence in math for all learners.
