Obstacles In Conducting The IEP Project

IEP’s which are individualized educational plan are very important documents, they are used to meet a student’s educational needs. There are certain criteria a student must meet to be eligible for special education services. A team of people work together to create

One of the two requirements from indicator 13 that is missing is the teacher did not inviting Lisette to her own IEP meeting. The teacher mentioned that the reason for not inviting Lisette was because she knew basketball practice. Regardless, indicatory 7 states that the students must be invited to their own IEP meeting where transition plans will be talked about. Their must be proof that an attempt was made to invite the student to attend the IEP transition meeting. If I was the facilitator of the meeting I would try to make an arrangement that worked with everyone schedule involved and also Lisettes. Having the student involved at the IEP transition planning is important, because there are discussions about her future and plans

Imagine you are young teenage girl in the high school setting. You look the same as everyone else. Nothing on the outside appears to be abnormal. You want to be included and do everything else the other students are doing. However, you have this learning disability no one knows about except for you, your parents, the exceptional educator, and now your general education teachers. It’s not easy being different wanting to do everything the other students are doing. Well, this is why mainstreaming and inclusion are important for these students. They want to be successful like everyone else. They want to fit in. They want to go to the general education classes with everyone else. Leading up to this is why Individual Education Plans

Several students have IEP (individualized education plans) at my school. An IEP puts into writing the specific, individualized requirements for the child's education that must be fulfilled for that child to have an education which is commensurate with

[The learning goal that I choose aligns with the IEP because it is supporting and providing a strategy to aid my focus learner in solving word problems. In order for the focus learner to solve word problems, she needs to know what the question is asking and find a concrete way to represent that. Her IEP goal states that she will “…underline and circle key numbers, then write an equation and solve each problem…” The learning goal aligns with this IEP goal because it has her master a strategy that has her do exactly what the IEP goal is asking. The STAR strategy has the student circle or underline what they know and what they need to figure out, then translate the word problem equation into a picture. By having the student draw a picture, this

The IEP meeting had the purpose of evaluating the child’s previous disability, and to determine if the child will continue to qualify for IEP services. The child’s disability was speech delay, according to Heward, he describes speech delays, when speech it is not understood by others (2006).

On Monday, September 25th, I was invited to sit in as the general education teacher in an IEP team meeting. The meeting was held for a student with down syndrome, identified at birth, who qualified for services under the category of intellectually disabled. This student is in a self-contained classroom, therefore, his current teacher, served as the special education teacher for the purposes of this meeting. Meeting participants included: Mrs. Fields (ARC Advocate), Dr. Neiman (Main speech therapist, participated over the phone), Mrs. Bennett (LEA representative), Mrs. Diggs (ACS EC Director, as a precaution because the parents expressed concerns for the education of their child), Mrs. Sikes (General Education Teacher), Mrs. Bernard

The IEP team met today to conduct an annual review for Daniella Rayon. Two separate notifications were sent out to the parent/ student. SB 1108 was addressed and signed at the start of the meeting. The parent and student were both present.

Productive and successful IEP meetings require careful preparation on the part of all stakeholders. Guardians who arrive at their kids IEP meeting without have not have not done their assignment risk beforehand end up leaving the room without a full understanding of what they agreed to. In order to participate fully and confidently in the IEP meeting, guardians must be informed about the process, know details well, and in possession of all the information needed to make the best decisions regarding their kid. We must keep in mind that the focus is on the kid's needs, not the district's resources or the guardian's expectations.

Next the webinar described the steps taken by the school district to ensure participation in the IEP meeting. The individual components of the IEP were described. Finally Extended School Year (ESY) and the reevaluation process was described in the webinar.

Thomas is a high school student who has been suspended for getting upset in class, yelling at other students, and cursing at teachers and other staff members. Thomas is on an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) for and emotional disability. During the IEP process, Thomas’s team created a Behavior Improvement Plan (BIP) using the results from a Functional Behavioral Analysis (FBA). As the year progressed, Thomas’s cumulative days of suspension reached ten days and he therefore needed a manifestation determination meeting to determine if his behaviors were because of his identified disability.

With this letter, I would like to reflect and discuss observations made from our IEP Professional Development that took place on yesterday. I personally feel that the professional development was not well received. I observed several side-bar conversations, usage of cell phones, and a lack of engagement while our paid consultant was providing a service that we are in dire need of. This is not who we are and what we represent. Clarendon 2's SPED mission is PRIDE...Providing Relevant Individualized Direct Education for Students. While our District's mission, is "Educating Children." This was not reflected on yesterday, which is disheartening.

The IEP Team for Camden consists of 7 people. Every member of Camden’s team shares the goal of helping and supporting Camden in his academics, in doing so everyone presents the areas in which Camden has improved and the areas in which he needs support. Mr. Conway is the Administrator and Designee, his is in charge of conducting the IEP meeting, providing any pertinent paperwork to the parents and taking notes on the meeting. Mrs. Broderick is the Special Educator, her job is to informally and formally assess Camden’s academic abilities, determine his strengths and needs, come up with appropriate goals to meet Camden’s needs, and provide the needed supports and services for him to successfully meet those goals. She did this by administering the WJ-IVMs. Stadelmeier is the General

I answered this question in the answer above. I will add that it is important to approach Mrs. Cowen with respect to the fact that she has been teaching for a long time and her presence is valued at the IEP. I would approach Ms. Jefferson in a non-overwhelming way. She is probably stressed just trying to get her feet on the ground as a first year teacher. I would make an effort to show her that I have the confidence she can be a great addition to the IEP meeting.

With this disorder he gets stressed out very easily. When he is feeling overwhelmed he tends to shut down or give up. He was given an IEP, an Individualized Education Program, which helps kids reach educational goals easier than they otherwise would. It gives him leeway when it comes to certain things like homework and tests. They limit the amount homework he has
