It is critical that special education teams lean to design effective IEPs that improve student outcomes and meet legal requirements. The second edition of The IEP Checklist: Your Guide to Creating Meaningful and Compliant IEPs is special educators' one-stop IEP guide with all the answers a team needs to create great IEPs and put them into action. Clarissa Rosas, Ph.D., and Kathleen G. Winterman, Ed.D., start with a solid introduction to IEPs: their purpose, their components, and the legal mandates they need to meet. This new edition then provides a comprehensive framework for IEP development, featuring a unique, in-depth checklist that breaks the whole process into small, manageable steps and walks educators through each one. IEP team members will learn how to assess a student's present level of performance, effectively collaborate during an IEP meeting, use student-centered planning to foster empowerment and leadership, develop meaningful IEP goals, collect and report data on student progress, use progress monitoring data to make instructional decisions, and support successful transitions from school to adulthood. The new edition has new chapters that address culturally responsive IEP practices, how to create behavior intervention plans (BIPs), and supporting students with disabilities in private and parochial schools. Packed with planning tips, case examples based on the authors' experiences, practice activities, reflection questions, and chapter objectives, this book is the step-by-step guide to meaningful, legally compliant IEPs that help students reach their goals and meet state standards.
