To register for this workshop you need to go to CESA 9's website under Calendar of Events and look for September 30th - "Connecting Common Core Standards & the IEP".
Presenter: Dr. Barb Van Haren, Director, Special Education Services, CESA #1
The premise of an IEP connected with standards is to ensure that each student’s IEP meeting includes a discussion of what ALL students at a specific grade level should “know and be able to do” in academic content areas during the IEP meeting. In the traditional development of an IEP, educators concentrate on identifying the child’s current skills and the next developmental skills the student needs to achieve. Often the discussion is unrelated to the academic learning expectations for other students at the same grade level. The result is that the child’s goals may not be directly related to learning expectations for students at his/her grade level. The outcome for the student is lower expectations and an increasing achievement gap over successive years in school.
This presentation will provide an overview of connecting standards to IEPs to ensure access to the general curriculum for students with disabilities. The information will assist the IEP team in developing a meaningful IEP that incorporates the new Common Core Curriculum, Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards, Wisconsin Extended Grade Band Standards and local district benchmarks to help meet the student’s unique academic learning needs.
*Participants should bring along a copy of a current IEP.
