Abstract

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.
