The DOE letter released in November 2015 is the most recent clarification of IEP development that schools have received in years This letter understandably caused some anxiety among school district officials. Clearly a dichotomy exists between the fact that IEPs have to simultaneously address the child’s present levels of academic achievement and that IEP goals must be aligned with grade-level standards (with the exception of children with the most significant cognitive disabilities).

Does this now task our teachers with being vertical curricula experts in all areas?

Finding and filling achievement gaps.

Pinpointing a student’s strengths and needs in order to create state-aligned objectives for an IEP can be tricky. Educators can’t be expected to become subject-matter experts in all areas in order to build appropriate IEPs. This is especially true in areas outside of academic instruction. How do we assess for ELL, Section 504, early childhood, behavior and transition plans, or our most severely involved Autism and Asperger children? Plus,  all of these considerations must be data-driven and associated to the Common Core. How can educators realistically do all of this? We want to show you!

Join us and meet CLASS! 

Join our free webinar and see how CLASS saves time and energy creating functioning level assessments and building data-driven IEPs with which we can show progress. Here’s what you can expect to hear and see:

  • A brief discussion about the DOE standards letter and what that letter means for your district and your IEPs.
  • Nancy and Kim will discuss the concerns that are shared in Arizona and how CLASS can help with IEP challenges.
  • How to build and administer an assessment in all areas in which you write IEPs.
  • How to use the the skills-based gap task analysis in CLASS to consistently build IEPs that are clinically correct and legally defensible.
