Writing Effective IEPs and the Common Core
Education chiefs and governors in 48 states came together to develop the Common Core, a set of college- and career-ready standards for kindergarten through 12th grade in ELA and mathematics. The Common Core standards are designed so students are career and college ready at graduation.
What is it we really want an individual student to know and be able to do? With the implementation of the Common Core, parents can easily become confused. How can we ensure that at the end of a year, we will know if the child has made the progress we targeted? The workshop will provide a framework for understanding how various parts of the IEP fit together and will focus on the development of meaningful and measurable IEP goals and objectives.
