The handy tools that help you get the job done efficiently.
DPALs are checklists that will walk you through the follow up for a meeting.
There are checklists for several types of meetings, including:
Annual IEP meetings
Full IEP team meetings where an amendment is discussed
Manifestation determination meetings
Meetings that result from repetitive use of restrictive procedures
Coordinate next steps with other team members.
Write the IEP, BSP (if applicable), and a PWN.
Ensure that the IEP, BSP (if applicable), and PWN are finalized in SpEd Forms.
Send the IEP, BSP (if applicable), and PWN to parents as soon as possible, but no later than 10 school days after the meeting date.
If the student is authorized to access special transportation, create or update a Transportation Information Form.
Communicate with all necessary team members about changes and any accommodations or supports that need to be put in place. This could include: the student, parents/caregivers, general education teachers, related service providers, paraprofessionals, administrators, services coordinators, School Resource Officer, social worker, school-linked mental health worker, and school psychologist.
Create new graphs or update graphs in eduCLIMBER.
Following an annual IEP meeting, we always create new graphs. — See 'How do I set up eduCLIMBER after an annual IEP meeting?' handout
Following an IEP meeting to discuss an amendment, you may be adding a phase line, ending a graph, or adding a new graph.
Complete a SpEd Forms Data Change Request Form if parent address, disability, federal setting, transportation status, school, or evaluation status were changed.
