Who sits on a PBAT panel?
The student presents to a panel typically composed of the student’s PBAT mentor (the teacher who supervised the writing of the PBAT), a teacher who has had the student before, a teacher who may not have had the student before, a support staff member (Guidance Counselor, administrator, etc.), peers of the student whom s/he has invited, family members (optional), and/or an outside evaluator. There are a minimum of three adults on a student’s panel who are official panelists – any additional adults or panelists are requested to be silent supporters.
