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. 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 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 to adulthood. Practical content throughout the book-including planning tips, examples, and practice activities-gives readers the knowledge and experience they need to create legally compliant IEPs and put them into action. Includes Ready-To-Use Tools: IEP meeting preparation checklists, the IEP Checklist for confirming that required elements are included, an IEP Rubric for evaluating each element, and a template for making corrections based on the IEP Rubric.
