| Aligning IEPs to Academic Standards
Providing standards-based IEP’s aligned with state academic standards
For students with moderate and severe disabilities, matching instruction to meet state standards can be particularly challenging. This is especially true for content rich instruction in subject areas such as science, math and language arts. Dr. Browder and Ginevra Courtade-Little show special education teachers how to write IEP’s and develop lesson plans that demonstrate adequate yearly gain across all curriculum areas. Aligning IEP’s to subject content drives direct and systematic instruction resulting in measurable student gains with respect to state standards.
Issues addressed include:
- What does alignment to academic stands mean
- Creating IEP’s in concert with state standards
- Promoting literacy and mathematical skills
- Expanding academic objectives to include self-determination
- Using assistive technology
- Using functional activities to make standard meaningful
- Practicing alignment to state standards
