Parent(s): 10/18/2023 Parent(s): 10/18/2023
The following persons participated in the conference and/or the development of the IEP. Additionally, parents have
been given a copy of their rights regarding the student’s placement in special education and understand that they
have the right to request a review of their child’s IEP at any time.
If during the IEP year the student turns 16, if the student is not present at the IEP meeting, the service coordinator
must review the IEP with the student and obtain the student’s signature and the date of this review.
Areas of Eligibility:
State and District Assessment Scores: Grade 5 Mathematics SOL- 335 (Failed Below Basic), grade 5
Reading SOL- 299 (Failed), Grade 5 Science SOL- 325 (Failed Basic)
A. Cognitive (academic performance in content areas, e.g., ELA/Reading/Writing, Math, Science, Social
Studies, Technology and Fine Arts, as applicable): John was given the WISC-V to measure his
cognitive abilities. Overall, he performed in the Very Low range compared to same age peers,
however his skills ranged from Average to Extremely Low. One area of significant weakness was his
ability to compare two unlike words and define words. He performed in the Extremely Low range
compared to same age peers on this composite. When defining words, he demonstrated difficulty
defining the words without using the given word in his answer. His ability to perceive, analyze,
synthesize, and think with visual patterns was in the Low Average range. In the classroom, these
skills are related to interpreting graphs, charts, maps, spacing and organizing written work, and
tracking when reading. One area of strength for John was his ability to problem solve, think flexibly,
and use quantitative reasoning. Classroom tasks related to these skills include drawing inferences,
thinking conceptually, solving abstract problems, problem solving through rule application, and
transferring/generalizing information. He performed in the Very Low range in his ability to recall and
manipulate both auditory and visual information after a short period of time. His auditory memory is
B. Physical (gross motor, fine motor, vision, and hearing): John has no hearing problems and he wears
prescription glasses while in the home and school setting. John is distractible, impulsive, and has a
limited attention span. John’s gross and fine motor skills appear to be in the Average range when he
was tested during his evaluation.
C. Oral Language and Communication: John is able to communicate and speaks fluently. He does not
have any weaknesses in his oral language or communication with his peers, teachers, and other adults.
D. Social and Emotional Behavior: John is currently in the 6th grade at Liberty Middle School and there
appear to be no attendance or behavioral concerns. John has a tendency to be a loner and not very
social, but it has been noted that he seems to have made a few friends and is enjoying school more
this year. John becomes upset if he receives a poor grade, especially if he is unable to redo the
assignment.
E. Adaptive: John does not have any Adaptive behavior at this time.
Current Classroom-Based Data: John is able to complete his assignments with passing scores most days.
On other days, he will rush through his assignments in order to complete them and has the tendency to put
down the wrong answers. In class, he seems to be engaged and prepared for the lesson. His teachers state
that they have not had any problems arise where he would need to utilize his calming strategies and he is
capable of asking questions when he needs clarification. In the first quarter, he passed all of his classes.
His math class seemed to be his biggest weakness this past quarter due to lower assessment scores.
Family’s Input on Student’s Current Performance: Parent reports that he seems to be doing well this
school year and she is pleased with his progress. She states that he is doing better at home.
Summary of Work Habits: John needs support to address deficits in reading, math, and content areas.
Many days he is guessing answers and not applying the skills he has acquired to the lessons being
presented in the classroom. He is off task and not engaged. He needs support for attending to tasks and
maintaining alertness and resisting impulsivity, as well as support in behaviors throughout his day. He
does prefer to work on the computer and to play games on the computer and that has been used as
motivation for him, however it can also be something that he gets highly attached to and does not want to
leave when other activities are required. He also prefers to not have to take work home to be completed.
Staff has found that fewer out of class transitions are better for John. Reading tests aloud to John helps
with motivation to stay focused on the task at hand, as well as to not get overwhelmed with the entire test
at one time but to take it one question at a time and focus just as they are read to him.
John has the ability to meet most of the grade level expectations presented to him. He is approaching
grade-level skills when he is engaged and attending to the class and participating. He strives to have all
the answers correct and wants to do his very best. He can often complete the assignments on the first
attempt and achieve passing scores. Other days he will click or circle any answer just to have the
assignment complete. On these days, his grades are impacted in a very negative way.
Considered
Not Needed Included
Rationale: Reading tests aloud to John helps with motivation to stay focused on the task at hand, as well
as to not get overwhelmed with the entire test at one time but to take it one questions at a time and focus
just as they are read to him.
State Assessments
District Assessments
Standard Accommodation(s): Student does not have any district-wide testing accommodations.
OR, if the above LRE information does not apply to this student, explain why:
John is a rising 7th grader attending his base school for the 2023-2024 school year. He is a
student identified as having an Other Health Impairment. Based on the present levels of
performance and his most recent eligibility testing, John will receive support for behaviors,
reading, math, and other content area skills in the general education classroom. He will
participate in the general education classroom with his non-disabled peers. He will also have
access to the resource room each day for calming, small group testing, make-up work,
remediation, and a quiet working environment when needed. While in the resource room, he will
be working either alone or in a small group of other disabled peers. The resource room will be
available to him at any time during the day for academic and behavior needs, in addition to his
scheduled class period. When finished he will return to the general education classroom with his
other non-disabled peers. If at any time during the school year BCPS is required to go to virtual
instruction, John will receive support for Reading, Math, and content support. The IEP team
determined these services are appropriate to meet John’s learning needs by providing him with a
free and appropriate education while participating in virtual instruction.

Administrator: The administrator is there to assist with any questions that may occur, to
discuss and discipline that may have occurred, and any observations that they may have. They
are also going to provide input on the IEP and what changes/concerns they may have
throughout the meeting.
General Education Teacher: The general education teacher is in charge of discussing any
behaviors that they have noticed in the classroom and their academic progress. They are going
to discuss how the IEP has been implemented into their classroom and any questions,
suggestions, or concerns that they may have.
Parent: The parent is there to discuss any observations that they may have seen at home. They
are also going to provide their opinions on needed changes or concerns they may have in
relation to the IEP. They can provide information on what their child needs in order to be
successful in the classroom.
Required Agenda Outline: In 500-750 words, create an agenda for the IEP meeting. Discuss the
required topics you must address (i.e., introduction of team members, whether or not this is an initial or
review or an annual IEP, discussion of test results, present levels, goals, services, Least Restrictive
Environment (LRE) statement, Extended School Year (ESY) services, procedural safeguards, and prior
written notice.
5 minutes: Procedural Safeguards: We will discuss the procedural safeguards and they will be
offered to the parent prior to the meeting starting.
5 minutes: Discussing that we are having an IEP Review for John Doe and start with
introductions: Case Manager, Administrator, General Education Teacher, and Parent will
Goals: We will go over John’s goals and what is needed in order to check those goals. We will
also discuss how this data will be collected and when the progress will be reported to the
parents (every 4.5 weeks and at the end of the quarter). John has goals in English, Math, and
Behavioral.
Services: We will go over John’s services and how he will be supported in the classroom. John
has support in his content areas of Reading and Math as well as behavior support in all of his
classes. We will discuss how long the supports are expected to be in the classroom. John will
receive his supports in multiple formats whether it is through the general education teacher,
special education teacher, or paraprofessional. He does not have any related services at this
time and does not need support in order to participate in extracurricular activities.
LRE: We will discuss the Least Restrictive Environment. John will participate in his general
education classes and will also participate in a special education class (Resource) to work on
his behavior goals.
ESY: We will go over and discuss the extended school year, but at this time it is not needed in
order for John to be successful.
15 minutes: Discussion of any observations, questions or concerns that may arise. We will also
be discussing any changes that need to be made to the IEP in order for John to be successful in
the classroom. The floor is opened to all members to collaborate and decide on a plan.
5 minutes: Prior Written Notice- We will discuss the prior written notice and add any changes
that need to be made to the IEP as well as what options were considered during our
discsussion.
I will involve parents in the development of the IEP by communicating with them through
emails and phone calls. I will also send home input forms home so that they are able to fill out
what they believe their child’s strengths, weaknesses, interests, and needs are. Through this
communication they are also able to ask questions and state any concerns that they may have.
For this particular student, I do not anticipate any conflicts in relation to the IEP. If there were
conflicts, then I would suggest that we should take a second to calm down and then discuss
everyone’s opinions because everyone should feel heard and that their opinions are valued.
Reflection: In 250-500 words, reflect on your IEP meeting practice session. In what areas do you
feel you did well? In what areas would you like to have more guidance and coaching before conducting
your first official IEP on your own? What plan of action do you have for more coaching and guidance?
I believe I did well on ensuring that everyone understood that they had an opportunity to discuss their
concerns, any changes that they needed to make, or their opinions on how the IEP was working for
John Doe. I also feel like I did well on discussing John’s different parts to his IEP in a manner that
would be understandable to those in attendance of the meeting. I would like to have more guidance and
coaching on the Prior Written Notice part because I do not believe I have the correct terminology for
the PWN and I think I need to have a better understanding of what it is before discussing it in a
On the Accommodations Table, note the dates when you will obtain progress reports from the general
education teacher or related services staff so that you can gather data on progress (if applicable). If no
general education teachers are reporting, indicate the dates of your (special education teacher)
reporting.
In addition, use the Accommodations Table to gather data on the student’s progress for the first
Quarterly Progress Report.
NOTE: Only two dates are included on the Accommodations Table for the purpose of this assignment.
You may not gather data on both dates in the duration of your placement, but dates should be noted.
Accommodations Table
Goal 1: Given a set of 10 math problems on the current topic, James Doe will solve problems using learned
strategies (ex: not guessing, using facts, making a drawing or model, or eliminating possible answers) with
at least 70% accuracy on 30 out of 4 observations, by 05/31/2024.
Implemented Accommodations: Person(s) Responsible:
Audio/Read Aloud Tests except for Reading, math aids, reduce length of Special Education and General Education
assignments, setting, visual aids Teacher
Data Results: John is able to solve problems using learned strategies. He does have the tendency to guess on certain
questions that he does not know or understand.
Data Results: John struggles with not guessing on assessments when he does not know the answers to a problem. When
he takes his time on assessments, he is able to do well on the
Data Results: John is able to complete his assignments within the time given by the teacher with no prompts.
Data Results: John is able to complete his assignments within the time given by the teacher with no prompts.
Accommodations Summary:
In 100-150 words, summarize information from the Accommodations Table as well as data you have gathered
through teaching and observing the student. Address mastery of goals, progress towards mastery, and overall
service provision.
John will need to receive read aloud of all tests except for reading due to his eligibility testing evaluations. Due to
deficits in Math, he will need to utilize math aids in order to complete computation assignments. He will also
require the use of visual schedules/aides in order to maintain attention to tasks and complete his
assignments/assessments within the classroom. In order to assist with his attention to tasks, he should receive
reduced length of his assignments and a flexible schedule to work on the assignments/assessments within his
classroom. He will require small groups or another setting when completing assessments to assist with attention to
the tasks.
Communication Plan for General Education Teachers and Related Services Staff:
After completing the accommodations table and summary, in 150-250 words, describe a communication plan that
outlines how you plan to share the student’s progress information with the necessary faculty and staff. Address how
you and your colleagues will continue to monitor progress along the way, prior to receiving the quarterly
progression updates.
I plan to share communication details with the necessary faculty and staff, as well as the parents, through emails,
phone calls, and meetings. Progress notes will also be given on a 4.5 week and quarterly basis. Through these forms
of communication, all necessary members of the IEP team will be kept up-to-date on any progress, changes, or
concerns in relation to the students IEP. My colleagues and myself will be continuing to monitor progress
throughout data sheets that will be handed out weekly to teachers. There will also be observations while the student
is in the classrooms. Teachers will also be asked to provide input on what they believe is working best and if there
should be any changes made to help the student progress towards meeting their goals. Without collaboration, we
will not be able discuss the students progress or what we can do better to help our student reach their annual goals
through their IEPs.
After reflecting on your completed Standard 5 content, create a progress report addendum and/or
amendment (based on changes needed) to be added to the initial IEP, or describe why neither an
addendum nor amendment are not needed.
I plan to communicate the student’s progress on his or her IEP goals with the parents/guardians by
sending home 4.5 week and quarterly progress reports to them. I also plan on communicating with
them through email and phone calls to discuss how he is doing while in the classroom. I plan to utilize
the progress reports and phone calls/emails to discuss behaviors and academic performance.
Continued Learning
After completing the Individualized Education Program (IEP) Performance Template, reflect
upon three best practices you have learned from this student teaching experience in 50-150
words.
1. I have learned to be organized and store student information in their own files within a locked
cabinet.
2. Ensuring that data collection sheets are easy for all staff to understand and are simple for them
to fill out as they are collecting the data throughout their class time.
3. Communicating with families is vital to making changes, offering progress notes, and noting
any concerns that may arise with the students IEP. It is important to gain their opinion on the
topic to ensure that everyone is heard.
Improved Practice
Based on your experience of developing and delivering your Individualized Education
Program (IEP) Performance Template, list three implications for your future teaching practices
in 50-150 words. Consider concepts you want to take with you into your own classroom, such
as how you will establish and maintain organization in order to facilitate the IEP process in
your classroom.
1. I will continue to utilize the organizational methods that were taught to me. This can be done
through file folders, binders, and labeled bins for all of my students’ information.
2. I will continue to prepare for meetings by communicating with parents before we have the
meetings. I will ensure that I am hearing any concerns so I can be prepared to solve conflicts
before they actually arise.
