Pre-IEP Meetings

One way that I 8S participates in the design and implementation of individualized instruction for students with special needs (i.e., IEPs, IFSP, transition plans, Section 504 plans), ELLs, and students who are gifted is through Pre-IEP meetings. Pre-IEP (Individualized Education Program) meetings are crucial for ensuring that all stakeholders participate in the design and implementation of individualized instruction for students with special needs, English Language Learners (ELLs), and gifted students. We collect relevant data and assessments related to the student's academic, social, emotional, and behavioral needs. Determining the student's strengths, areas for improvement, learning goals, accommodations, modifications, and support services needed. We have everyone meet in the conference, this includes special education teachers, BCBAs, occupational therapist, speech therapist, and counselors. We collaboratively establish specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals and objectives for the student's learning and development. I establish clear channels for ongoing communication, collaboration, progress monitoring, and regular updates among team members.
