Quick question: How are you framing requests for prep time and consistent team communication during district interviews so it’s clear we’re supporting students’ access, not asking for “extras”? I had two interviews this week where I mentioned 10–15 minutes of daily pre-brief with the teacher and access to lesson materials (even just the Google Slides by 8 a.m.), and got polite silence — would love language that keeps inclusion at the center.
I frame it as an IEP access requirement: “10–15 minutes” is to flag vocab and safety so the student gets the same content in real time, not an extra. I ask for “Google Slides by 8 a.m.” or, if that’s tight, a Friday weekly outline so I prep once and tweak daily. Have you tried getting the case manager to add it to service notes so HR hears it as compliance, not preference?
Call it “instructional readiness” and put it on the schedule: “8:00–8:10 content preview; Google Slides by 8 a.m. via shared folder,” so it reads like part of the day, not a perk. Have you tried offering a fallback of weekly unit outlines if the daily Slides aren’t ready? Naming the risk — missed safety terms and lower accuracy without that 10–15 — has gotten quicker yeses for me.
