How do the requirements for a regular education teacher pertain to the Committee on Preschool Special Education?
Draft U.S. Department of Education guidance on this issue indicates that, if a school district provides regular education preschool services to nondisabled children, then the regular education teacher would be the teacher who is, or may be, responsible for implementing the IEP. If the school district makes kindergarten available to nondisabled children, then a regular education kindergarten teacher could appropriately be the regular education teacher who would participate in an IEP meeting for a kindergarten-age child who is, or may be, participating in the regular education environment. If the school district does not provide regular preschool education services to nondisabled children, the school district would designate an individual who, under State standards, is qualified to serve nondisabled children of the same age. (Appendix C Notice of Interpretation to the draft Federal Regulations). • Must the regular education teacher participate in all of the Committee functions? The IDEA
