Individual Education Plans (IEPs)

An IEP is:

• a written plan describing the strengths and needs that affect the student’s ability to learn and to demonstrate learning
• a record of the particular accommodation(s) needed to help the student achieve his/her learning expectations based on identified learning strengths and needs
• a working document that identifies modified or alternative learning expectations which are not represented in the Ontario Curriculum
• a record of the specific knowledge and skills to be assessed and evaluated for the purpose of reporting student achievement of modified and/or alternative expectations

An IEP is NOT:
