GUIDELINES FOR IEP REVIEW ASSIGNMENT
The best way to deal with a legal problem is to prevent it from occurring. The first step in any program of preventive law is for general educators, administrators, and special education practitioners to be knowledgeable of the legal issues in special education. As an educational leader within your school site and district, you have a professional responsibility to empower other professionals around you with knowledge about special education law and how it relates to compliance with Federal and State Regulations.
This assignment has a 15-page limit (double-spaced) and requires that you analyze a student's current IEP and determine areas in which the IEP was in and out of compliance. You will provide a list of recommendations in which the IEP could be brought back into compliance. If there are minimal areas in which there was noncompliance, you will identify those areas in which the IEP was completed correctly and will develop a plan for emulating those practices.
