This document provides guidance for developing quality Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). It discusses the components of the IEP including the student profile, present levels of academic and functional performance (PLAAFP), annual goals, and service delivery statements. Staff are instructed on gathering strength and assessment data for the profile and PLAAFP sections. Examples of quality and weak profiles and PLAAFPs are provided and staff practice evaluating these sections of sample IEPs. The document emphasizes using multiple data sources and family friendly language when describing student performance and needs in the IEP.

A Mixed Methods Study Of Faculty Views Toward Blended Learningguest85b018
This mixed methods study focused on faculty attitudes
toward blended learning at a major research university. The qualitative analysis showed different views on the pedagogy. The survey data revealed faculty with more favorable attitudes toward blended learning were more computer literate, were encouraged by colleagues, and reported favorable support services.
after checking the part - I, its time to study various methods and techniques used in the evaluation.
this slide helps to know about the methods, tools, and techniques used to assess the congition/knowledge.
A presentation about different types of assessment tools that can be use in assessing language. There are also some meaningful insights about language test and language assessment

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. Overview
There will be 4 Main Focus sessions
– Student Profile & PLAAFP
– Quality Annual Goals & Progress Measurement
– Service Delivery & LRE statement
– Prior Written Notice – DEC 5
Snippets of Customer Service will be imbedded
4. Setting up the IEP meeting/Invitation
– Know WHO needs to be at the table
o The case manager is responsible for inviting EACH
provider & confirming availability
– Have a conversation with the Parent
o Provide the family with a few dates and times
– Create and SEND the Invitation
o A HARD copy MUST be sent
o A 10 day notice is needed when a parent cannot be
reached
6. The Profile in the IEP
The Profile has two components
– Student’s strengths
– Assessment data relevant to the student’s
performance
7. Student Strengths
Describes and documents the student’s strengths
and should address the following areas:
(Listed below are examples of areas you can discuss
regarding student strengths)
– General work behaviors
– Social Skills across settings
– Special interests
– Strategies student benefits from
8. Activity
With a partner
– List data sources for each of the strength areas

and enjoys the company of his peers and responds
positively to individualized adult interactions. __is
inquisitive when he is interested in a subject. __works
best when given verbal praise and a reward system.

range; __ has a relative strength at home and school in
practical activities including self care behaviors. __ has a
very supportive family.

20. Example of Quality Profile - Assessment
A formal reevaluation in the spring resulted in continued eligibility as
Intellectually Disabled Mild due to borderline cognitive ability and
extremely low adaptive skills in the area of conceptual ability;
processing speed is the weakest area of development;
achievement scores show below average achievement. Curriculum
assessment show both reading and math skills 2 years below grade
level. Speech/Language evaluation: __ has moderate-severe
delays in articulation skills. __has made progress on his math and
reading IEP goals, but continues to perform well below his peers.
__’s limited cognitive ability limits the rate of skill acquisition and
maintenance; this affects __’s ability to perform grade-level tasks;
it also causes the __ to get overwhelmed and shut down during
work assignments. Behavior data shows non-compliant episodes
during non-academic classes also. These episodes resolve in about
10 minutes when given an opportunity to regroup and rejoin the
activity.
21. Customer Service Note
