What is an IEP? An Individual Education Plan (IEP) is:

• A document that is written specifically for an individual student

• A summary of the students strengths, interests, and needs

• A document outlining the expectations for a student’s learning that includes specific accommodations and/or modifications that are needed in order for the student to be successful

• An accountability tool to help students meet their individual learning goals

• A flexible working document that can be changed as necessary

• Developed collaboratively with the teacher, parent and student

• Available to all teachers on-line

An IEP may include modified grade expectations, accommodations and/or alternative expectations (i.e. behaviour management and social skills).
