November 10: ASK an Expert

Six Principles of IDEA:

Principle #3 - Individualized Education Program

This webinar is the third in our series on the Six Principles of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). In this session, we will focus on the Individualized Education Program (IEP). Participants will learn what an IEP is, why it is both a legal document and an educational roadmap, and how the IEP process helps students with disabilities make meaningful progress.

We will walk through the steps of IEP development, from reviewing present levels of performance to writing measurable goals, planning for progress monitoring, and identifying services and supports. Additionally, we will examine key IEP components, including participation with peers, accommodations and assessments, and transition planning for life after high school. Join us to deepen your understanding of how the IEP serves as the foundation for ensuring a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) and supporting positive outcomes for students with disabilities.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
 ✅ Explain what an IEP is and why it is important
 ✅ Describe the steps in developing an IEP
 ✅ Identify additional components included in the IEP

Join us November 10 from Noon to 1:00PM
