Creating a Student Profile

A student profile provides a comprehensive, concise written description of the student’s current level(s) of performance.  Data is collected to determine the student’s strengths, stretches, learning preferences, and priority learning needs. Create the student profile first, before planning the process for supports.  For authenticity, give students a voice.

Here are some templates that can help building a student profile:
Who Am I? Profile  (2011)
ICBEP (2021)
Student Based Student Profile (2017)

After creating a student profile and getting to know the student, an ISPT becomes part of the process. It includes student strengths and stretches for academic, self-determination, cognitive functioning, and social/emotional domains. Goals are developed to address the needs with objectives and strategies to address the developed goals, along with data sources to monitor outcomes:
