How can special education teams create effective IEPs that improve
student outcomes and meet legal requirements? Find practical answers
in the second edition of this one-stop IEP guide, updated with new
chapters on key topics, online resources, and practical features that
make this edition perfect for either preservice courses or in-service
teamwork.
Current and future education teams will get a thorough introduction to
IEPs and a comprehensive framework for IEP development, featuring a
unique, in-depth checklist that breaks the whole process into small,
manageable steps. IEP team members will learn how to collaborate during
a meeting, assess a student's present levels of performance, develop
meaningful IEP goals and objectives for all students (including
culturally diverse learners), choose accommodations, use progress
monitoring data to make instructional decisions, and support transitions
from school to adulthood. Practical content throughout the
book--including planning tips, vivid examples, reflection questions, and
practice activities--gives readers the knowledge and experience they
need to create legally compliant IEPs and put them into action.
