  3. IEP - The Road Map To Student Success What is the IEP? Who needs an IEP? Who’s involved? When is it used?

  4. Strengths & Preferred Learning Styles S.M.A.R.T. objectives Objectives Key Features Strategies Types of Support Behaviour Objectives Competencies

  5. Timeline • Fall Board-wide IEP Professional Day • Term I Report • Term II Report • Term III Report

  6. The Resource Team Classroom Teacher Resource Teacher Administrator The Resource Team Special Needs Consultant SLP Psychologist

  7. Flexible Pedagogy • Planned options to ALL students • Designed to match students’ pace and style of learning • Level of difficulty of the task remains the same • Tasks may be represented in a variety of ways (written texts, video, spoken word, etc)

  8. Examples of Flexible Pedagogy in the Classroom(for all students) Assessment • Allow for options to demonstrate learning • Use of memory-aid • Use of technology • Journals, observation, discussion Instructional • Tactile: Manipulative, building models • Kinesthetic: Brain breaks, work stations • Visuals: pictures, videos, graphic organizers, charts • Working in pairs, groups or independently

  9. Adaptation • IEP required • Cycle level objectives remain the same • Adaptations are strategies • Evaluate as per regular program • Percentage marks included in the class average

  10. How is “Adaptation” represented on the report card?

  11. How is “Adaptation” represented on the IEP? • If a student has adaptations for a specific subject area, the IEP will look like this:

  12. Examples of Adaptations in the Classroom Instructional/Environment • Note-taking assistance • Assistive technology • Reduced amount of work • Alternative work space • Use of FM system Assessment • Extended time • Uncluttered formats • Alternative Settings • Colour Cues

  13. Modification • IEP is required • Cycle level objectives are not followed • Modifications are individualized objectives • Evaluated as per IEP objectives • Percentage marks are NOT included in the class average

  14. How is “Modification” represented on the report card?

  15. How is “Modification” represented on the IEP?

  16. English Language Arts (Term I) Outcome#1:Read an information text on plants. Use the information to create a diagram of the lifecycle of a plant IEP Modified Objective:Will recognize 10 words frequently found in the environment Example of classroom modification:Teacher or peer will read an information text on plants to student. Student will draw a picture of a plant and use a cut and paste word list to label the main parts of the plant: flower, leaf, stem and root Reads and Listens to Spoken, Written And Media Texts

  17. Math (Term I) Outcome#1: Will be able to create a graph showing the number of boys and girls in grade 5 and 6. IEP Modified Objectives: Will be able to count up to 15 with one to one correspondence. Examples of classroom strategies: Uses Mathematical Reasoning Using manipulatives the student collects one manipulative per boy in the class, the student counts with manipulatives to show how many boys there are in class.

  20. Silent Sort

  21. STEPS BEFORE MODIFICATION • Flexible Pedagogy strategies offered; • Adaptations indicated on IEP; • Report card indicates difficulties; • “In Difficulty” or “Handicapped” identification; • Team supports modifications; • Parents have been informed.

  22. Pathways for Students on Modified Programs • Modified Program in regular classes • Life Skills Program • Pre-work training • Training for Semi-Skilled Trade
