GIEP writing How’s it going?

Parts of a GIEP • Student Information • Participants in Process • Parent • Parent • Student* • Teacher of gifted • Teacher of _______________ • Teacher of _______________ • Teacher of _______________ • School District Representative (Chairperson)**

Parts of a GIEP I. PRESENT LEVELS OF EDUCATIONAL PERFORMANCE • A. Ability and assessment test scores: • B. Group and individual achievement measures: • C. Grades: • D. Progress on goals: • E. Instructional levels: • F. Aptitudes, interests, specialized skills, products and evidence of effectiveness in other academic areas:

Parts of a GIEP cont… II. GOALS AND OUTCOMES: • A. Annual Goal • B. SHORT-TERM LEARNING OUTCOMES: (4 parts): • Short Term Objectives • Objective Criteria • Assessment Procedures • Timelines

Parts of a GIEP cont… II. GOALS AND OUTCOMES continued… • C. SPECIALLY DESIGNED INSTRUCTION TO BE PROVIDED TO THE STUDENT. (Include this information for each annual goal) • SDI • Projected Date for Initiation • Anticipated Frequency • Location Anticipated, • Duration

Parts of a GIEP continued… • D. SUPPORT SERVICES NEEDED TO ASSIST THE GIFTED STUDENT TO BENEFIT FROM GIFTED EDUCATION. • Support Services • Projected Date for Initiation • Anticipated Frequency • Location Anticipated

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).

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

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”

Annual Goals & Short Term Learning Outcomes

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

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

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?

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

% 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

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

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

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
