Which of the following is NOT typically a member of an IEP team?

• A. General education teacher
• B. School psychologist
• C. Student when appropriate
• D. Crossing guard

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is who typically participates in planning and implementing a student’s IEP. The team is made up of people who have expertise about the student’s learning and how to provide needed supports—such as a general education teacher, a school psychologist or other specialists, and the student themselves when appropriate, with a parent or guardian involved as well. A crossing guard, whose job is to manage safety and traffic around the school, does not contribute to educational planning or service decisions. So the crossing guard is not typically a member of the IEP team. The other roles listed are all standard participants because they help determine goals, accommodations, and services.
