Individual Education Plan (IEP)

Special Education Plan
Within 30 days of being placed in a program, an IEP is developed for each exceptional child in consultation with the parent. The principal will ensure that parents receive a copy afterwards.

What is included in the IEP?

  • Specific and representative educational expectations
  • An outline of the Special Education program and services that will be provided
  • A statement about the methods by which a child’s progress will be reviewed
  • For students 14 years and older (except those identified as exceptional solely on the basis of giftedness), a plan for transition to appropriate post-secondary school activities, such as work, further education, and community living.

An IEP is not …

  • A description of everything that will be taught to the student.
  • A list of all the teaching strategies used in regular classroom instruction.
  • A document that records all learning expectations, including those that are not modified from the regular grade level curriculum expectations.
  • A daily lesson plan.
