Here is a fun, interactive way to hone IEP team members' skills at crafting compliant plans for all students. Get everyone thinking critically about proper IEP composition using these 50 hypothetical scenarios -- IEP Challenges -- that train staff to identify appropriate and inappropriate present level statements, measurable annual goals and progress monitoring plans.

Working through the scenarios as a group or individually, team members learn how to:

• Weave prompting into an IEP goal
• Address in an IEP goal how to report bullying
• Describe how to monitor a student's progress toward online safety skills
• Detail in a present level statement a student's attendance issues
• And more!

Plus, you get these hands-on tools: IEP Components: Checklists to Meet IDEA Requirements; PLAAFP Checklist; Developing Postsecondary Goals -- Questions to Consider; and Annual Goal Progress Report.
