Iep Communication Plan

Special education students are delayed in there learning process. To resolve the gap in learning abilities Individual with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) obliges by law that all public schools to create an Individualized Education Program (IEP) for every child that receives special educational services. IDEA inspires to create an effective relationship amongst the parents and school that boost an educational team with the goals of providing the student with proper services (Mueller, 2009). In Each IEP meeting it involves the IEP team, IEP sections that addresses the student with disabilities educational progress.

One of the first things that Ms. Anderson should do is to change the classroom layout and environment for Howard. First, he should have particular seating by Ms. Anderson which is near the whiteboard, but far away from high movement areas, for instance, entryways, pencil sharpeners, or windows. She should create an area where she can provide individual instruction for Howard. Especially, surround Howard with peers who are helpful and not confrontation. He needs a defined space where he can work on class work. Having Howard follow a checklist throughout the school day will help him stay organize with class work, more focus on instruction time, and less distracted with any classmates.

In the American system the curriculum serves 5, 000 students and more than 20 countries and we need to review and look at the IEP process. The question that has spark concerns is to look at students direct IEP and how we can look to evaluate it? How students benefits from an IEP and what would be the first logical steps to change the process. We have a mixture of students who are not all English speaking students from all backgrounds and have some disabilities. I’m not here to complain about the teachers in your system, you have wonderful teachers who capture student’s interest and encourage students learning. But we are here to address the IEP’s process issue.

For this assignment, I observed an IEP meeting for a three year old boy. The child is a three year old Hispanic boy, and his native language is Spanish. The child was receiving speech services through Early Intervention.

Throughout our lifetime we go undergo many transition, however the move from high school to the adult world is considered the most important. During this transition we are able to explore many things such as our interests, abilities, and talents. We feel more independent since we are able to set goals and make certain decisions regarding our future. When a child reach certain age, a transition plan will play an important role in his or her IEP, during the meeting this plan will develop, rationalized, and reviewed annually. The transition plan must derive from transition assessments that are proper for the student’s age as stated under the Individual with Disabilities Education Act.

Discussion: The team converged at Gregory Elementary school to participate in Donte's IEP meeting. The school counselor was not aware or forgot about the meeting which they scheduled . The meeting was rescheduled for Thursday 06/15/17 at 10 am. Tammy expressed frustration with school inability to communicate effectively. Tammy reported that Donte is behaving appropriately at home and in school. She informed the team that Donte's Risperdal was D/c'd because of insatiable appetite, and significant weight gain.

I have conducted my field of experience at Westside Elementary School, second and third grade classroom. The third grade class consists of 20 students. The teacher does not have any aide even though she needs some assistance, because two of her students are falling behind. The sad part about this is that the students have not being diagnosed yet, but they are having a lot of difficulties. The teacher mentioned that by fourth or fifth grade those two students will need to be placed in a special education classroom. The students both have a concentration problem and it causes them to struggle with reading, writing, math, listening, and speaking. The teacher asked me to

This kind of teaching is what is referred to as “clinical teaching”. The clinical teacher who can be either a special education teacher or a general education classroom teacher, having assessed the child or received information on Jayson’s assessment would now plan and develop an Individualized Education Programme (IEP) comprising of teaching tasks specifically geared towards correcting Jayson’s learning difficultiess. After developing the IEP the teacher would now implement her plan by utilizing the teaching tasks on Jayson. Having done that , he/she will need to evaluate Jayson to see his performance in order to know what went well, what needs improvement and if he/she has to make any changes to the IEP. This process will lead to the clinical teacher making modification to the Jayson’s IEP and the cycle continues all over

She coul motivate him by special sticers or extra points after the lesson if he keeps the rules.

I will also give him a notepad with the days of the week on it. I will explain to him that each time I observe him doing his work and not bothering other students in the class, he will receive a stamp on that day. At the end of the day, he will be allowed to choose a prize from a bucket if he has at least 3 or more stamps on one day. At the end of the week if he has stamps on all 5 of his sheets for the week, he will be allowed to choose one thing such as free time, a prize, etc. to reward him for his good behavior throughout the week. If he misses a day where he gets no stamps, he cannot get the prize at the end of the week.

To teach Jonah the replacement behavior I would first let Jonah know that he is an important member of the classroom. My overall goal for Jonah is to make him a teacher helper. I would begin by assigning Jonah a few task that would gradually increase to a routine of 5 essential roles: (1) help students put bag/coats away ( 5) set out the supplies in the morning (3) give out papers/supplies when needed (4) collect papers/homework (5) clean up overseer. To get Jonah motivated to be the class helper I would establish a token economy. According to the International Journal of Basic and Applied Science(2017), A token economy is often implemented because there are target behaviors that teachers would like to increase or reduce.

My class is a special education, self-contained multi-grade class. There are 11 students in the class. Two students are in the 3rd grade, two are in the 4th grade, and seven are in the 5th grade. All of the students has an IEPs classification which includes but not limited to autism, auditory processing disorder, attention deficit with hyperactivity [ADHD], attention deficit disorder [ADD], communication impairment, emotional disorder, and multiple disabilities. Additionally, several students also exhibit severe deficits in social and behavioral age appropriate skills. These challenges mentioned above interfere with my students’ attendance and ultimately their learning. All of the students are performing significantly below their grade level

In Ms.G classroom, the students are expected to learn together. The staff treat the students the same and give students individual attention when needed. Students receive a variety of therapy and counseling such as speech, occupational, and physical Therapy.During my visit i noticed that a young boy, i later learned name was Marco, seem to be reluctant to participate in group activities. Ms.G and other staff did not seem to be bothered by Marco's behavior. Later I asked ms.g what has she done to help Marco open up more. Ms.G explained that Marco has been this way all year and will probably get out of his shell in time. I would recommend the use of Invisible Support which according to the National Center for Quality Teaching and Learning (2016)

Having a proactive communication throughout the project allows stakeholders to stay updated with the project. For a small project, it is important for stakeholders to at least know when will the project stop and end. However, for a larger project, it is critical for project managers to come up with an appropriate communication plan to discuss any issues, status, reports, scope change requests, and risk. Having this type of communication plan allows to manage stakeholders' expectation efficiently and effectively. If I have invested in a project, then I sure would love a monthly progress report on how is the project coming.

Some appropriate strategies that I could incorporate to help Mark achieve optimum success in school would include that I would first seat him in an area where he is free from any distractions, then I will eliminate all unnecessary materials from Mark’s desk to reduce any interruptions as well. I believe that checklists help people stay organized and I will incorporate that to help Mark be orderly and prepared. I will be doing all these things to make sure that Mark is not distracted and that he is able to focus on his work. I will be communication with the student and his parents to make aware of the concerns and ask for suggestions, then the counselor to see if emotionality or social/interpersonal skills are an issue, then to his previous teachers to help me figure out some strategies and see what his work habits may be, and finally, compare and contrast any issues with current teachers.
