This the final of 3 posts in a series focused on getting back to school. We have covered reading assessment and math assessment, critical pieces to any special education classroom. Now I promised to share a pre-IEP planning guide. This will be most useful for teachers of students with more significant disabilities, but you can alter it to better suit your needs. This is a great way to have parents share their concerns (a required piece of the IEP process). Send it home with before and ask parents to return it before an upcoming meeting.
That is the end of the back to school series. Let me know what you think and how the assessments or planning guide have helped make the beginning of your year easier for you.
I teach at University of Portland. Before I came to UP, I was working as a research liaison between UO and 4j on their RTI project. I have developed an RTI Assessment Rubric that was used in UO_4j OSEP RTI model demonstration project. This rubric can be used in the classroom level, as well as in the school level. It is best used in the RTI team meeting. If you need the rubric, just ask. My email address is liu@up.edu.
Thanks Kimy. Hopefully our members can utilize this rubric. Thanks for
keeping the conversation going!!
