• Agenda• PowerPoint• Individualized Education Program (IEP)
model form (April 2010)• Notice model form - Initial Provision of Programs
and Services (April 2010)• Notice model form - Provision of Programs and
Services (April 2010)• Quick Reference Guides (8) (April 2010)
Purpose for New State Model Form
Clear need for an integrated system to:
– implement requirements and practices for compliance; AND
– focus on results for students
3
Training Goals – “WHAT” not “HOW”
• To introduce the new State model forms• To increase understanding of the IEP
development process• To assist participants in understanding
the design and content requirements of the IEP process in order to implement it with fidelity
4
IEP Development: Alignment
Matching two educational components to strengthen the purpose and goals of both.
In IEP Development: • Curriculum Assessment • Assessment State Standards • State Standards IEPs • Instruction Outcomes
