When a group meets to discuss a student's Individualized Education Program (IEP), they are called a team, but they rarely understand the perspectives of the people with whom they are sitting at the table. This is especially true when cultural and linguistic diversity is part of the equation. This unique book explores the individual perspectives of IEP meeting participants who work with students who are culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD). Authors interviewed a principal, a general education teacher, a special education teacher, a teacher of English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), an educational advocate, a disability rights attorney, a parent, a translator, a school psychologist, a specialist, a transition services specialist, and a guidance counselor. Their experiences provide critical insight for those seeking to realize the potential of these sometimes marginalized students. Interviews examined the dynamics of home-school communication, IEP meetings, and cross-cultural interactions. The perspectives shared in this book relate to known best practices and also provide practical suggestions for improving the experiences of teams serving the CLD population.

Voices From Around the IEP Table: Perspectives on Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Families
The authors have successfully and uniquely met their goal to raise awareness and inform meaningful dialogue about serving CLD students who are receiving special education services. Using the metaphor of the IEP meeting table and the multivocal “voices” of the IEP team, the authors uncover the “big picture” of the systemic, structural, cultural, and interpersonal dynamics of making decisions about the education journey and success of CLD students with disabilities. This is a timely and much needed book that I encourage all those who share the responsibility of developing appropriate and responsive IEPs to read.
