INDIVIDUALIZED EDUCATION PROGRAM INFORMATION
Individualized
Education Program:
The procedure by which parents and school staff members develop a written
plan (IEP) describing a student’s
special learning needs and the special education services to be provided
to meet those needs. The IEP team consists of parents; the student, as appropriate;
the student’s teacher; a general education teacher if the student participates or may participate
in general education classes; a representative of the school system who is
qualified to provide or supervise special education services; and others
as requested. IDEA requires that an IEP contain the following:
-
A description of the student’s present level of educational performance, as well as any concerns of the parents.
-
A statement of annual goals which may also include short-term instructional objectives.
-
A statement of the specific special education services to be provided to the student.
-
A statement concerning the extent to which the student will participate in general education activities.
-
The date when special services will begin and how long the services will last.
-
Information about how and when the student’s progress toward IEP goals will be evaluated.
-
A list of needed curriculum, testing, and classroom accommodations and modifications.
-
A statement concerning the extent to which a student will participate in the division wide and statewide assessment programs and accommodations that a student will need during testing. If the student will not participate in the assessments, the IEP must indicate how the student will be assessed.
-
A statement of needed transition services for students 14 years of age or older.
