Suppose you recently went to a conference at which the speaker said the following: ´An IEP should fit its child like a glove. An experienced, wise special educator should be able to look at the IEP and give a reasonably good description of the student and his activities from that IEP.´ Agree or disagree, or both, with that statement, and give your reasons.
example:
If you
agreed
with this statement, you should have included information such as this:
A well-written, clear IEP will have PLOPs that accurately and clearly describe a child´s unique educational needs, clearly describe the services that will address those needs, and will have measurable goals and objectives. These PLOPs, service descriptions, and goals and objectives would make it clear to anyone reading them, how the child´s disability affects his/her performance in the general curriculum, what services, therefore, what activities the child will be engaged in while in school, and what specific skills (goals/objectives) the child will work on at school.
If you
disagreed
with this statement, you might have written something such as this:
A poorly written IEP may include PLOPs, and goals and objectives that are vague, meaningless, and not measurable. Therefore, one would not be able to tell what problems are caused by the child´s disability or what activities the child will engage in at school. The services to be provided might be merely checkmarks on a list of possible services on the IEP, thus one would not have an adequate description of what kind of specially designed instruction the child should be receiving.
