Assignment:
Details:
The IEP is an essential part of each student's special education program and plays a large part in the role of special education teacher responsibilities. Special education teachers must include all of the information needed to describe the student's strengths, needs, background information, etc. All of this information is used to develop an effective program for the student.
By the age of 16, students with special education services must have an additional transition plan that addresses current functioning based on observations, student surveys, and other age appropriate transition services. Goals must be developed for further education and training as well as employment after high school. Aligned transition activities for each goal must be realistically developed to assist students in achieving their goals. Teams must also consider the need for goals associated with independent living. These goals could address community access and participation, adult living and post-school options, as well as daily living skills to support independence in adult settings.
