Assignment:
Individualized Education Program
Throughout this course you have been developing your skills in aspects of curriculum design and delivery to create meaningful classroom instruction that aligns with curriculum, standards, and individualized education program goals. In this program, we have located and evaluated evidence-based instructional strategies and curriculum design, including collaboration with service providers to best meet the academic needs of students with mild to moderate disabilities. We have examined assessment-driven instruction, background and cultural influences, and factors of maintenance and generalization of skills.
The purpose of this assignment is the culmination of the learning achieved in this course through a real-world application of the content. This summative assessment supports your achievement of Course Learning Outcomes 1, 2, 3, and 4 and the MASE Program Learning Outcomes.
For this assignment you will be assuming the role of a special educator working with Mr. Franklin and will create important components of an IEP. As you have read in the Instructor Guidance and throughout this course and the MASE program; an IEP
- Consists of a legal document outlining an assessment-based measurable goals and objectives.
- Provides more intensive intervention and services.
- Specifies supports around the student's specific needs.
- Involves active collaboration with teachers, support staff, the student, and parents.
- Dictates progress measurement and monitoring.
Bridging this real-life experience with the theories of instruction in the virtual course environment, this assignment mirrors a career building experience.
In this course and in previous coursework you have learned about the process of developing an IEP document and the participation in a multidisciplinary team to, in part, plan and collaboratively develop key goals around the student's areas of strengths and weaknesses. It is important to access previous video examples, discussions, and other coursework as your develop this plan. You have been collecting these web addresses in your link library. This would be a perfect time to access them.
In this example, you will focus on components of an IEP that are written by the team and that support the assessment-based functional performance skills.
A student in Mr. Franklin's class has been assessed for special education eligibility and services. This young man, Huang, was determined to be eligible under the primary handicapping condition of high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the secondary handicapping condition of speech/language impairment. A full comprehensive individualized evaluation (including a summative assessment report) has been completed and it is now time for the IEP team, including you serving as the special educator, Mr. Franklin, Huang's parents, the diagnostic team, and the district administrator to develop an appropriate IEP for him.
