General educators' satisfaction with the Individualized Education Program (IEP)

The purpose of this study was to determine general educators' satisfaction with their role in the Individualized Education Program (IBP). One hundred twenty seven general educators in a small rural community in Eastern Tennessee responded to a survey. The survey was modified slightly from studies by Stokes (2002) and Menlove ( 1999). General education teachers in grades K-8 reported being moderately satisfied with the IEP process with the lowest level of satisfaction on the value of the student's input. High school teachers reported a lower level of satisfaction with the IEP process overall and the lowest satisfaction level again was the input of the student.
