Student Voice - Future Leaders
Education
In this episode, we meet Kellina Powell. Kellina is a young entrepreneur who loves to help people with their personal growth and educate others about the deaf community. Little do people know Kellina is actually a hard-of-hearing person. She became deaf at the age of 4. She recently graduated with a psychology degree and is now starting her own online coaching business while launching her book!
So as educators, we have had students in our classes who have special needs, and often with those students comes an Individual Education Plan (IEP). For me, it wasn't often that I actually engaged my student in conversation—the student for which the IEP had accommodations.
But in this conversation when Kellina shared how having those conversations and monthly check-ins with her educators and her teachers would've helped her in accessing her education. It made me think that these documents are living documents, not just forms with rules and requirements that I must follow.
If I had rather seen it as that, a living agreement between me, the educator, the parents AND the student that needed these accommodations to access their education I think of how much better an educator I would have been.
