Gather Necessary Documents for IEP
To begin the IEP process, gather all necessary documents such as student records, assessments, and evaluations. These documents will provide valuable information about the student's educational history, strengths, and areas of need. By collecting these documents upfront, you will have a comprehensive understanding of the student's background and be better equipped to develop an effective IEP. Are there any challenges you anticipate in obtaining these documents? Please list them below.
Identify Student's Current Levels of Performance
This task involves assessing the student's current academic skills, behavior, and performance. By identifying the student's strengths and weaknesses, you can develop appropriate goals and interventions in the IEP. Utilize assessments, observations, and input from teachers and other relevant professionals to gather data on the student's abilities and areas for growth. How will you gather this data? Please provide details.
Define Achievable, Measurable Goals
In this task, you will define goals that are both achievable and measurable. Goals should be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). By setting clear goals, you can track the student's progress and ensure that the IEP is aligned with their individual needs. What strategies or resources will you use to develop achievable, measurable goals? Please explain.
Develop Special Education and Related Services Plan
The special education and related services plan outlines the specific instructional and support services the student will receive to meet their individual needs. Collaborate with relevant professionals, such as special education teachers, therapists, and counselors, to develop a comprehensive plan tailored to the student's requirements. Specify the services and supports that will be provided in the plan. How will you ensure that the plan addresses all necessary areas of support? Please describe.
Consider and Determine Accommodations Requirement
