Standards Based IEP's

Hi Everyone!
I just got back from State Department training on Standards Based IEP's. They unveiled the new IEP forms and process for us...it was really interesting. It looks a little daunting, but in the end I think it will benefit our kiddos AND us so much. I can't wait to get with all of you and share this information. I hope all of you can make it July 25-26. If not, please let me know and we will have to schedule a separate time to meet in a smaller group.

We will also be discussing eligibility and paperwork issues that are important.

In order to be ready for Standard's Based IEP's please familiarize yourself with the Common Core Standards and how to "unpack" these standards.

Here are some websites to help with that:

http://www.imarksweb.net/book/tennessee+common+core+unpacking+the+standards/

There are about a million if you just want to google common core standards unpacked you will find a bunch!

Some of your Districts may have already done this...if so, you can get the unpacked standards from them and start (with your math and literacy coaches/reg ed teachers/administrators) to begin to identify those POWER STANDARDS for each grade level so we will know how to plan our IEP's next year.

I hope you all are having a great summer! I miss you.
