How to Manage Students with IEPs

Are you a general education teacher who has a student with an IEP? Are you a special education teacher that has students who spend part of their day in the general education environment? 
IEP organization and management

It doesn't matter what kind of teacher you are, ALL teachers are busy! Throw in a few IEPs, adapting materials, goal and data tracking and things can get overwhelming. It may always be busy, but you don't have to feel so stressed out. I've put together some helpful information (AND A FREE FLIP BOOK) to hopefully make your year smoother, more organized, and more effective!



     HELPFUL TIPS FOR WORKING WITH STUDENTS WITH AN IEP


1. The most important thing we need to realize is that an IEP is a legally mandated document. IT MUST BE FOLLOWED! Ok, that's the only time I am going to sound preachy, but it is really important for everyone to realize this. We must stay in compliance. If there is a behavior plan, make sure you read that as well! :)

2. BE PREPARED! Read the IEP and transfer some of the key components onto the IEP AT A GLANCE. (I've included a free one in this set).  Create a folder. Include the IEP at a glance, goals, accommodations/modifications, data sheets, and materials to assess the goals. I pre-fill this folder at the beginning of the year which will save you so much time later! For example, if a student has a goal to write their name, I will fill with name-writing templates. I write the date next to each sample. When it's time to write the IEP I have all of the up to date information I need. You may also want to do some of your own assessments if you think students' present levels are not matching the IEP, especially over summer break when often students do not retain information. It's good to know where you students are exactly.

IEP goal and benchmark management and organization.

3. COMMUNICATE. Meet with the IEP team frequently. Stay up-to-date and share relevant information. Discuss what is or is not working and any possible revisions. They may have information that can help you. Don't wait until you are frustrated. You can use this free form to jot down a few quick pieces of helpful information.



4. COLLABORATE. Don't feel like you are alone. If you are the general education teacher, Let your SPED teacher know what you are working on. They may have materials for you or they can assist you in making any adaptations. Let them know about any upcoming events, lessons, field trips, etc.

5. ATTITUDE AND  EXPECATIONS! This one is huge! Students in special education CAN learn. It may be at a different rate and in ways you are not familiar with, but they ARE capable of learning. It is up to us to create equal opportunities for ALL of our students to learn. Keep expectations high, but realistic. Never assume. Make sure your student is included and is an active member of your classroom. If a student is in a corner with their aide, they are not really getting their general education minutes.
