The Internal Monitoring Process

The purpose of The Internal Monitoring (IM) Process is to determine compliance with federal and state laws for serving students with disabilities and to assist educational agencies in building a continuous improvement process that is focused on improving outcomes for these students. It is best practice for each LEA to establish its own Internal Monitoring Process and Internal Monitoring Team. This team will be responsible for developing and implementing internal monitoring and review processes including special education record reviews, IEP verifications, and use of data for feedback and improvement. The team will be responsible for establishing the educational agency’s internal monitoring process and training of other staff.
