Spring 2025 Workshops on IEPs
Session 1: How to Avoid the Trap of Repeat IEPs
As you prepare to refresh or write new academic IEPs, avoid the pitfall of creating repetitive, ineffective plans. This session will empower you to leverage diverse data sources to develop IEPs that are both ambitious and achievable, leading to real student progress.
We’ll demystify substantive versus procedural IEP compliance and discuss how to ensure you achieve both compliance and meaningful outcomes. Discover practical strategies for tracking progress and utilizing progress monitoring data to make timely adjustments. Plus, you’ll hear about how to ensure students have a voice throughout their IEP process and the importance of Universal Design for Learning to ensure a student’s individual needs are considered and addressed within their education plan.
Leave with concrete tools and strategies to create IEPs that truly make a difference.
After this session, you’ll be able to:
- Identify and utilize at least three different data sources to create measurable, ambitious, and achievable IEP goals.
