what works at school, used in sessions
Drawn for this page. A tutor who uses the same supports the school uses gives the student one consistent way of working.

How to use it

  1. Start a form with a student code, never the full name.
  2. Go through it with the family at the first meeting.
  3. Mark the supports the school uses, even small ones.
  4. Agree two or three goals with dates.
  5. Use the brief to plan the first sessions, and update it each term.

What the form covers

Records and consent

A private tutor is not a school official under FERPA, so a school generally needs the parent’s signed, written consent before it shares information from a student’s education records with you (34 CFR 99.30). Families can always share their own copy of a plan.

IEP and 504 plans

An IEP is written under IDEA for a student who needs special education; a 504 plan gives accommodations under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Both bind the school, not the tutor, but matching their supports keeps the student’s experience consistent.

Privacy

Everything typed here stays in this browser. Keep printed copies somewhere private and share them only with people the family has named.
