24
Q

IEP Component #6:

Participation in mainstream classroom

A

Least restrictive environment and details how a child will join mainstream environment whenever appropriate.

25
Q

IEP Component #7:

Testing Adaptations

A

Determine if student’s will participate in state and local achievement tests. Specifies any testing accommodations. Determines need and rationale for modified tests.

26
Q

IEP Component #8:

Transitional Goals and Services

A

Starting around age 14, transitional goals are put into place for help transition beyond grade school and into independent application

27
Q

Collaborative Teaching: One teach, one assist

A

One teachers gives main instruction, while one teacher supports the students in their academic, behavior and motor needs.

28
Q

Collaborative Teaching: One teach, one observe

A

One teachers is lead instructor while the other one observes to gather specific info on student learning (academic, behavior, social skills) while in the classroom. Meant to only be used occasionally.

29
Q

Collaborative Teaching Strategy: Station Teaching

A

Small group instruction with one teacher at each station. Activities at each station function independent of each other. This allows for closer monitoring.

30
Q

Collaborative Teaching Strategy: Parallel Teaching

A

Co-teachers divide the class in half and teach their half the same lesson. Timing and pace need to be considered. Maximizes participation and reduces behavior problems.

31
Q

Collaborative Teaching Strategy: Alternative/Differentiated

A

One teacher manages a large group while another one takes a small group for a specific instructional purpose. Can be used for remediation, enrichment or assessment.

32
Q

Collaborative Teaching Strategy: Team- Teaching

A

Both teachers are in front of the students as the lead instructor

  • Independent Education Evaluation (IEE) conducted by 3rd party at no cost to guardian.
  • Confidentiality of info
  • Access rights to records.
35
Q

What is PLAAFP and what is it used for?
