DISTRICT PSYCHOLOGISTS

INDIVIDUAL EDUCATION PLAN
Once a student is identified as meeting the criteria for special needs, teachers, parents and other caregivers come together to develop an Individual Education Plan (I.E.P.) An I.E.P. outlines what parents, students, and others can expect regarding a specific student’s educational program.An I.E.P. contains:
- Goals: what we want to accomplish.
- Objective:s steps along the way to the goals.
- Methods: how we will get results.
- Evaluation: how will we know that we achieved the goals?
DO YOU NEED HELP TO GET STARTED?
Classroom Teachers, Learning Assistance Teachers and Principals may be able to provide solutions to most problems, without the need for further referral. When problems are more complex, the school based team may suggest a referral to Student Services.
