Interview 3

During my third interview, Ms. Sanchez helped me to realize my second answer to my essential question. My essential question is "In what way can a special education advisor best help her students achieve their academic goals?" My first answer was to have a clear understanding of the students personal and academic files. My second answer  is to encourage parent involvement with each student. Through my research parent involvement was mentioned and encouraged because the parents play such an influential role in the kids lives. Ms. Sanchez also brought this up to me because she noticed that many of the students within the special education program at Montclair High School lack motivation to achieve their goals. Special education advisors are the ones that make these IEPs but there's only so much that they can do. Parents are the ones who can push their students to achieve more and continually encourage them to keep progressing in life.
