This course will help you to understand the purpose of the IEP, its significance in IDEA, and compliance with the law.


About This Course

The Individualized Education Program, or IEP, is a cornerstone of the Individuals with Disabilities Act, IDEA, the federal law that protects students ages 3-21 from being denied a free and appropriate education. There are many essential parts included in the IEP that, when implemented and continuously monitored, should have positive impact on a student’s educational performance. It is important to treat the IEP as a relevant and living document-it is not just a formality to be checked and signed; but rather, an agreement between all IEP team members on a unique program of services and related supports for a student that best meets his or her individual academic and/or behavior needs.

*In order to apply for a CEU or a PD Unit, teachers have to complete all 7 courses in this series: SE501, SE502, SE503, SE504, SE505, SE506, SE507.
