areas: Language Arts, mathematics, and a 3rd area your choice.
The assignment should include the following sections:
1. Student Information: Briefly describe the child’s background
- Student Information Student Name (Initials)
- Student Date of Birth/Age
- Grade Level
- ** Diagnosis
- **Profile (General relevant information including educational concerns and learning
strengths and challenges)
2. Present Levels of Academic Achievement & Functional Performance (PLAAFP):
Provide an overview of the child’s current performance in each focus area, supported by
observations, assessments, or other relevant data (source of data & sample evidence)
3. Measurable Goals: Define goals for each area of focus
Include short-term objectives and/or benchmarks that break down each goal into smaller,
measurable steps. Provide projected dates for achieving each short-term objective and
benchmark.
4. Services: Identify the special education and related services that will be provided to support
the child’s learning in each area. This may include specially designed instruction, related
services, or any other necessary support. Clearly delineate how these services will be
delivered (for each service, include Location, Frequency, Anticipated Duration, & Service
Provider, as applicable)
Include Accommodations and/or modifications
5. Measuring & Reporting Progress: Explain how the child’s progress will be tracked,
including the tools or methods (e.g., observations, formative assessments, work samples)
used to measure growth. Specify the timeline for progress reviews and assessments (e.g.,
weekly, biweekly, monthly). Also specify when periodic reports on progress will be
provided.
6. Participants: List the key individuals involved in the development and implementation of
the IEP.
Format: You may present the above components as text with the above headings or in tabulated
format. Note however, that tabulated formats allow quick reference and clarity, making it easier
for teachers and parents to find key information. Alternatively, you may want to present them
using a combination (like formats presented in Gibb & Dyches, 2016). You may want to adapt a
ready format or design your own.
