Schools should carry out a needs assessments, usually these is based on teacher’s comments on his performance and measured against their predicted course results, the comments are invariably excessively positive. Predicted results can be flexed to ensure that targets are met. Emotional barriers to learning are rarely assessed.
This results in a PEP that is superficial.
With some dogged effort I managed to arrange a pre PEP meeting, shared my assessment of my child’s emotional barriers, the meeting was awkward at first, got a bit stormy, then we started to listen to each other, and developed some strategies. It was a good start but still is work in progress.
I am interested to hear of other carer’s experiences of PEP meetings.
