The Five I’s Of A Good IEP

A good Individual Education Plan (IEP) consists of 5 important steps that are repeated continuously.

THE FIVE I’S:

1. IDENTIFY the problem, including an initial educational evaluation
2. INDICATE appropriate teaching methods, modifications and services
3. IMPLEMENT the plan according to the recommendations
4. INTERPRET the resulting successes and shortcomings
5. INTERVENE to either maintain or reconfigure the plan

Monitoring the IEP by scheduling follow-up meetings will:

• keep the plan relevant and dynamic
• reinforce goals and objectives
• refresh and refocus the energy of plan administrators

A good IEP is a great tool for communication between parents and other professionals involved with your student. Share it with doctors, therapists, tutors, as well as teachers , specialists, and administrators.
