  9. Parts of a GIEP • Student Information • Participants in Process • PLEPs: Present Levels of Educational Performance • Academic • Interests • Strengths • Needs

  10. Parts of a GIEP (continued) • Annual Goals • Short Term Outcomes • Assessment • Time Line • Specially Designed Instruction • Support Services • Critical Dates

  11. Old Forms are available at: http://www.pde.state.pa.us/gifted_ed/site/default.asp * New forms have not been approved by legal.

  12. Present Levels of Educational Performance In order to write clear and measurable goals you must first establish clear and measurable present levels of educational performance (PLEP).

  13. Present Levels of Educational Performance should… 1) Be data driven (measurable and observable) 2) Identify strengths and prioritize needs 3) Provide a starting point for development of goals 4) Guide development of other areas of the GIEP

  14. Data Driven • Current assessment information must be the foundation for writing PLEPs! • Curriculum based assessment • Evaluations • Permanent products • Teacher/parent/student input • Observations • Interviews • Anecdotal records • PLEP quantify student skill levels in both academic and nonacademic areas • Provides “actionable information”

  15. What data is available within your district? Let’s look at the GIEP model in section 4, pages 2-3 Let’s look at some sample PLEPS… • Evaluate PLEPs: • Are statements precise or vague? • Is there a basis for measurable goals? • Share

  16. Annual Goals & Short Term Learning Outcomes

  17. Annual Goals Annual Goals … • reflect the present level of performance and giftedness • identifies a focus area for learning

  18. Short-Term Outcomes • Plan steps for reaching annual goals • Provide mechanisms by which progress will be measured • Establish at least one short-term outcome for each annual goal • State outcome • Include objective criteria for achievement • Indicate assessment procedures and timelines

  19. Measurable STO Formula • Student will be able to…(action/behavior) • Objective criteria: criteria/level of achievement • Assessment Procedures: evaluation • timelines: how often/when will action/behavior be assessed?

  20. Objective Criteria • Performance criteria should reflect the type of measurement that is meaningful for the skill

  21. % of time # out of # of times With % of accuracy With no more than # of errors Independently With a grade of “X” or higher “X” or better on a rubric or rating scale With “X” out of “X’ points on list Criteria Examples

  22. Structured Interviews or Surveys Observations Teacher Developed and Standardized Tests Rating Scales/ Assessment Checklists Student Generated Artifacts Behavioral Observations Portfolio Assessment Curriculum Based Assessments Anecdotal Records Rubrics Assessment Procedures

  23. STO Timelines • When do you want the student to accomplish this task.

  24. Activity Let’s evaluate some Annual Goals & STO’s.

  25. Specially Designed Instruction • Adapting content, methodology, product or delivery instruction to meet the unique needs of the student: • Acceleration and Enrichment • Compacting • Tiered Assignments • Independent Projects and Activities • Pull-out programs, small group work and one-on-one • Mentor and Apprentice Programs • Distance Learning
