Reflection: The IEP process requires a great amount of planning and collaboration with school professionals and the family of the student. This includes collecting information about the student’s background, interests and preferences, cultural differences as well any medical concerns. It is very important that during the school year I also stay in touch with the IEP team members in order to update or to follow up on different goals they are working on outside of the classroom.
Artifact: For this standard I chose to attach the IEP I worked on with my student during the summer of 2012. The IEP includes J’s strengths and preferences, present levels of performance, goals and services.
