Which type of information should not be shared at an ARD meeting with parents?

Sharing opinions about a child in an ARD (Admission, Review, and Dismissal) meeting is inappropriate because such opinions can be subjective and may not reflect objective assessments or documented evidence. ARD meetings are designed to focus on concrete data, measurable academic performance, specific goals, and empirically supported interventions that can aid the child’s educational development.

By focusing on objective information, the meeting promotes a collaborative environment based on facts rather than personal feelings or biases, ensuring that parents receive clear and constructive feedback about their child's education and progress. This approach helps in formulating appropriate educational plans that cater to the child's unique needs, based on evidence rather than conjecture.
