What is an IEP?
CategoriesDepartment |
An IEP is an Individualized Education Plan. This is a written plan required for each identified special education student. The IEP must include the student's present level of performance, annual goals that address any deficit areas identified in current evaluations and short-term objectives or benchmarks. The IEP is the keystone of the special education process. The IEP determines the service level and placement for each student. The Annual Goals are used to measure progress in special education services. IEP's are developed at a meeting of the IEP team. The parent is a required and integral participant on this team.
