When to use this form
Use this form when you need to create, review, or update a student's individualized learning plan. It helps case managers, general teachers, therapists, and families align on goals, services, and supports. Common triggers include an annual review, a transfer to a new school, a change in performance, or a new evaluation. Before the meeting, gather family input with the Parent questionnaire form, and book time with the Parent teacher conference sign-up form. In practice, you might use it after a student starts failing algebra, or when a speech therapist recommends updated goals. The form captures present levels, accommodations, and service minutes so everyone leaves with clear actions, timelines, and responsibilities.
Must Ask IEP Questions
- What are the student's present levels of academic and functional performance?
This baseline shows strengths, needs, and current data, so goals match real performance. Without it, services and accommodations may not fit the student.
- What measurable annual goals will guide progress this year?
Clear, measurable goals focus instruction and make progress trackable. They also help you choose assessments and set realistic benchmarks.
- Which accommodations, modifications, and supports are needed in each setting?
Listing supports by class and setting prevents gaps between general education and related services. It also clarifies responsibilities for teachers and aides.
- What special education and related services, frequency, and duration will be provided?
Detailing service type, minutes, and provider ensures students receive what was agreed. For collaboration notes and follow-ups, log discussions using the Parent teacher conference form.
- How will progress be measured and how will you share updates with the family?
Defining measures and intervals prevents vague reporting and supports timely adjustments. Set communication preferences or updates using the Parent contact form.
