When figuring out what grade level modified expectations should be at, what document(s) are essential to review?
the previous report card/IEP
True or Flase: A student must be identified with an exceptationality in order to have an IEP.
False: Other students who are not formally identified as exceptional may also have an IEP, as determined by student needs in consultation with the in-school team and parents/guardians.
true or false: you only use data from previous years teacher to inform accomodations.
FALSE: you should also base accomodations from parent input, non-teaching professions/reports and personal observations
True or False: I should plan and input expectations and goals for the entire year in the first IEP sent home.
FALSE: While it's a great idea to have an idea of where you plan to guide the learning and growth of the student you just never know how much success they may or may not have throughout the first term. Wait until you assess the achievements of the first term goals before committing to term 2 expectations.
True or False: IEPs should be updated at reporting periods.
True/False: IEPs are a working document and can be updated as required to meet the students stregnths and needs, regardless of reporting dates. Parent's/guardian's must be in consultation with any additions/removals or changes to IEP though.
True or False: I check the IEP box while reporting if a student is recieving accomodations in the subject area.
FALSE: only check the IEP if modifications are implemented.
Goals and expectations on the IEP should be...
clear and precise: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Reasonable and Time limited
True or False: Only grade 8 students require a transition plan.
False: All students require a transition plan with steps that will successfully help them to transition grades/classrooms/teachers/etc.
"Extra time for processing" would be what kind of accomodation?
instructional and assessment
True or False: I only teach to the IEP goals and expectations for modified students
FALSE: It is important that further exposure and learning opportunities are provided for all students. You focus assessment on the IEP goals and modifications.
