<DIV>Remember everyone that it is against the law for anyone to be able
to access this information. It always must to placed in a secured locked
place, whether behind a password protected computer or locked room. You
cannot carry any student's information in a written notebook or any
easily accessible manner. Yes, it must be a pain for you to get into
also and that way you know you are not breaking the law and protecting
the identity of all your students.</DIV>
<DIV>You will be breaking HIPA, FERPA and a plethora of other
laws.</DIV>

<P class=yiv1956261658MsoNormal><SPAN
style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'sans-serif'">I never carry my
laptop from school to school. I do struggle with remembering facts
about each student’s team-members and room numbers off the top of my
head (especially when my brain is focusing on one student and someone
asks me about a different student). I have adapted to my brain fog by
carrying two quick and handy non-tech resources. Although I am sighted
you could do the same thing in Braille changing the information to
something more pertinent to your own needs. </SPAN></P></DIV>
<P class=yiv1956261658MsoNormal><SPAN

<P class=yiv1956261658MsoNormal><SPAN
style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'sans-serif'">1). I keep a thin
notebook in the car for quick reference that has the following
information: my schedule, a page or two for each student (placed in
order of their lessons and color coded by VI teacher) with relevant
IEP goals, brief summary of past lesson or ideas for current lesson. I
also keep an extra copy of permission slips, and names & contact
numbers of teachers-parents-school secretaries, etc. in the notebook.
I consult this notebook in the morning, evening, and if necessary,
between each lesson. This notebook eliminates the need for me to pull
individual files and fish through pages and pages of stuff I don’t
need to look at to find an IEP goal or a parent’s phone number.

<P class=yiv1956261658MsoNormal><SPAN
style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'sans-serif'">2). I also carry an
index card into the school with me containing the bare minimum
information necessary (important names, room numbers, length of
lesson, and shorthand IEP goals). Not all of us are blessed with good
memories and my kids, the schools, and even the city & county are
all foreign to me so I’ll need the note card for awhile! It really
helps me flow smoothly. In your case you might want to only Braille
student ID numbers and birthdates on the index cards. It fits easily
into a purse. My note cards are clipped together in order of the
lessons and kept with other “quick grab” items. After each lesson I
put that note card in the back of the cards and put the front card in
my purse for the next lesson.

TVI. I have a list of my students ID numbers and dates of birth on
personal notetaker and computer. Sometimes, the district expects me to
have it ready when I contact them. Do you think brilling the
information and having the info with me during providing services to
the students at school would be another option? I/'m just curious how
TVIs have all the info this information when one receives a phone call
ferom a district or districts you may be serving students.? Just one
final note, due to the population I serve and because I travel between
with my materials I am hesitant of taking a laptop or my personal
notetaker to scdhool for fear it may be damaged. Just wondering how
other teachers deal with this issue. I am aware that many teachers
travel with laptops and have one rooom to instruct students. I am not
as lucky. Thanks the school and staff work with me to service the
students in their respective classrooms which is valuable as to
what information you can pick up and integrate the stdent when
activities are occuring.</SPAN><SPAN></SPAN></P></DIV>
