The focus of this five session series is to help K-8 educators develop, implement and monitor standards-driven IEPs.
During the first and second sessions, participants will develop an understanding of the relationship among accountability, standards-based curriculum, and students' IEPs in Michigan and examine the process of developing standards-driven IEPs that are in compliance with federal, state and county requirements.
During the third and fourth sessions, participants will learn about the essential components in implementing a standards-driven IEP and ways to design instruction to support students in standards-based classrooms.
During the fifth session, participants will develop an understanding of the ways in which data collection is essential to the IEP process and establish a repertoire of data/assessment tools for use in monitoring progress toward grade level standards.
