...prepared for an annual IEP meeting this week. She first made sure that she made assessments and notes for the student for the last few weeks and looked to see if the student had reached any IEP goals that had been set from the previous year. She will then review his/her progress reports. Once she has reviewed all the data, she review which goals have been met and which ones need to be readjusted and kept for the current IEP. She also takes the data to make other achievable goals for the student in reading and math. Once she has created her goals, she sets a meeting with the general education teacher to discuss these goals and see if they have any other goals or input they would like to add to the IEP. It is important for her to try and meet with the general education teacher before the IEP, this way they can discuss other information that may need to be added such as a BIP, social goals or additional support she may think he may need. At least a week prior to the IEP meeting, she takes the time to create a rough draft of the IEP. This allows for you to provide a copy of these goals to the parent prior to having the IEP, for them to review them and make any notes or ask any questions about the goals, prior to the...

...Program (IEP) is a legal document used by schools in order to map out a plan of action for those that are in need of special education. An IEP is created for students who have been classified with a disability and are between the ages of 3 and 21. An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a written statement of the educational program designed to meet a child’s individual educational needs. Every child who receives special education services must have an IEP. An individualized education program has the goal of setting reasonable improvement learning goals for a child for one year including the role the school will assist the student to achieve their specific goals (Gibb & Dyches, 2016). The IEP is developed by a team that meets and discusses the relevant information about the child's strengths and deficiencies. The team meets, in order to analyze the data obtained by gathering data and individual assessments data about the child. The team then develops specific educational interventions educational to address the child’s educational deficiencies that result from his or her disability. This team meets at least once a year but as often as needed to ensure that the child’s educational needs are being met. The IEP has two important roles. The first is the special education plan that is individualized in appropriate ways for each individual student. The plan defines the goals for one year and the various ways that the school will help the student achieve those goals. Integration...

... I have worked with my master teacher to support the students to meet their IEP by giving them all the available resources to receive the learning they need. The support most of the student need is with reading and implementing several intervention methods. Groups in the best intervention support student receive because each group is made for their learning level and each adult they work with are aware of their area of need. Math is also an area several students need additional support, so we implement small group instruction to directly teach the components they are struggling. The assignments are modified to meet each individual students need and they are given manipulatives to assist them with the assignments. Giving students the needed resources to understand the academic areas they are struggling can only be measured by giving them the needed assessments. Throughout the school year we have incorporated school district assessment based on grade level. The assessment delivery for each students is conducted differently based on their IEP. For the math assessment, each student must take it online so they are placed in a small group with an adult from the classroom. The role of the adult is to assist the student with reading the math question, rephrasing if needed, and giving them the tools they might need. The assessment is nondiscriminatory based on how the information is given to them and their IEP modification and accommodations are being met. The same procedures are done...

...No Child Left Behind No Child Left Behind Yellow polka dotted blankets of green grass, birds chirping and green leafs on the trees, these are the ways most identify with the return of spring. However, many third through eighth grade students become aware of spring with extra math and reading classes. These students take practice tests, learn about the proper amount of sleep, and breakfast one needs prior to taking the annual standardized achievement test. Once again it is time to test what children have learned this school year, so that state and federal government can decide if children, teachers, and schools measure up to government standards. While achievement and standardized test are meant to improve the quality of education by measuring the performance of students, teachers, and schools; they hinder our children’s education. “The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001, signed into law by (former) President Bush on January 8, 2002, is a reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the central federal law in pre-collegiate education” (Education week, 2004, Para. 1). The NCLB was put into place to enhance the public education system in America. NCLB stipulates criteria to improve the performance of students, schools, and teachers by evaluation through annual achievement tests. Determined by the results of the standardized achievement tests, schools are rewarded money from the federal government to implement and improve their curriculum...

...restrictive environment (LRE), students will have an individual education program (IEP), the right of procedural due process, the right to nondiscriminatory assessment, and the right to parental participation (Gargiulo, 2012). A free and appropriate public education: This mandate requires that all children must be provided with a free public education regardless of the severity of their disability. The term “appropriate” refers to the unique abilities of the student. Services such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, or physical therapy are required to be included under the mandate if these services are deemed necessary to meet the educational needs of the student (Gargiulo, 2012). The least restrictive environment: This mandate requires that disabled students be educated alongside of their non-disabled peers as much as possible. Any removal of a disabled student from the regular classroom into a separate setting should only occur when accommodations cannot be made in the regular classroom (Gargiulo, 2012). Individualized Educucation Program (IEP): An IEP is a document written by the IEP team (special educators, regular teachers, administrators, service providers, and parents) that addresses the educational needs of the individual student. This plan is required to address or include: the student’s present level of academic performance, measurable annual goals, short term goals and benchmarks, evaluation procedures and specified objective criteria, which...

...Positive Behavior Support Plan IEP Beckie Johnson Concordia University Classroom Management for Students with Special Needs Positive Behavior Support Plan IEP The purpose of this paper is to discuss Sean Bruner’s, a Clark County School District student, positive behavior intervention support plan (BIP). Sean is a severely emotionally challenged high school student. He has had an IEP for the majority of his school years and has had a BIP ever since he transitioned into high school. The MDT’s hope is that a successful BIP will rectify all of Sean’s negative classroom behavior and allow him to show positive academic growth for the remainder of his school years. In 1997 Congress amended the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The only approach which considered the behavioral aspect within the law was the positive behavioral interventions and supports. These interventions utilized both functional assessment and positive proactive approaches or methods to promote good behavior ("School wide," 2013). In the past students with disabilities were not included in all the available educational opportunities because of their inability to control their inappropriate behaviors. In 2004, IDEA was amended a second time due to congressional realization that positive behavior intervention support helps prevent exclusion and improve academic results ("School wide," 2013). Now, positive behavior interventions and supports promote positive school environment for all...

...Therefore, in comparing RTI and special education programs several key differences appear. Special education is based more on individual needs and goals, and in the majority of cases last the duration of a student’s academic career due to disabilities or behavioral problems. In contrast, RTI’s are not solely based on special needs, therefore, RTI’s are able to identify students that may have a lack of understanding of the curriculum. Without the rigid constraints of special education, RTI is more flexible and able to meet the needs of students in the moment. Nondiscriminatory, Multi-disciplinary Evaluation Once written parental consent is obtained, the school psychologist will conduct an initial evaluation of the student within 60 calendar days. The evaluation is based on the individual’s specific concerns and may also include to collection of data from parents and school personnel...
