Learn how to put together IEPs with the power to make a real difference for students
The Intentional IEP shows special education teachers how to successfully collaborate with all stakeholders―parents or guardians, general ed teachers, therapists, and beyond―to work toward students’ success. Too many of us aren’t trained to write the Individualized Education Programs that help millions of students thrive in school. This book fills that training gap, explaining the importance of assembling an IEP team and inviting this team to confront and improve its current processes and habits to make IEP writing simpler and more effective.
With all the pressures that educators are under, it’s easy to cut corners when it comes time to write IEPs. Writing them in isolation, leaving them to the night before, making decisions without consulting data and research, letting family collaboration fall to the wayside―most special educators have made these mistakes at some point. The Intentional IEP equips you with the resources you need to feel confident in approaching IEPs the right way, including prioritizing the many competing demands you face so you can find the capacity to show up for your students.
The Intentional IEP is a timely resource for special education teachers, general education teachers, and support staff, as well as teacher training programs. Parents and guardians with students will also benefit from this clearly written guide to the IEP.
