  2. Topics • When To Use A Second Time Frame • Closing Out/Adding Goals • Progress Reports • Transfer of Folders • Collaboration • Closure

  3. Topic 1 – When To Use A Second Time Frame • LPSB has established a new protocol for Elementary students with IEPs transferring to a different school. • For those students whose IEP is held during the school year, the IEP must address FAPE for an entire IEP year; this includes the need for a second time frame. • This second timeframe will reflect the minutes of the receiving school.

  4. Topic 2 – Closing Out & Adding Goals • If a student achieves a goal, the IEP team must add another goal. • The IEP is in place for an entire IEP year; therefore, the student should have goals for the entire IEP year. • Goals should be projected for the IEP year, not a two or three week period

  5. Topic 2 – Closing Out & Adding Goals Close out goals/objectives: • When the goal and/or objectives under a specific goal have been achieved. • At the end of each marking period, if applicable • On the existing IEP, before the annual review or re-evaluation IEP is made official • NOTE: If the goals/objectives have not been achieved, the teacher is to write “not achieved” on the hard copy of the IEP. • Anytime the IEP committee determines a goal/objectivedoes not clearly meet a student’s needs

  6. Topic 3 - Progress Reports • Progress Reports must be completed EVERY nine weeks for EVERY instructional plan • Progress Reports must be sent home with the report cards • A copy must be placed in the IEP. • Second section / left side • If a goal is achieved during the IEP year, the Progress Report for that goal is still required at each marking period. • The teacher of IEP authority is responsible for ensuring that all progress reports are collected and filed within the brown folder

  7. Topic 3 – Progress Reports • Progress Reports must be closed out prior to a new IEP being made official. • If the goal and/or objectives have been achieved, enter the date of achievement on the progress report. • If the goals and/or objectives have NOT been achieved, an explanation must be given as well as current data. • If appropriate, goals and/or objectives not achieved can be written on the new IEP • Remember to complete progress reports prior to transferring IEP folders to their receiving schools

  8. Topic 4 - Transfer of Folders • LPSB has established a new protocol for transferring IEP folders from sending schools to receiving schools • Department Heads from the sending schools will transfer all IEP folders between May 25-28, 2012. • The Liaison assigned to your school will provide you with the transfer of folders form to be signed by the sending school’s department head and anadministrator from thereceiving school.

  9. Topic 5 – Collaboration • When scheduling/writing IEPs for any student transferring to a different school, the teacher of IEP authority will contact the receiving teacher by email or phone to collaborate and establish the 2nd time frame. • The receiving teacher will be invited to attend the IEP meeting • Confirm that the receiving teacher will attend before putting that teacher’s name on the IEP • Refer to the End of Year Protocol for specific deadlines

  10. Closure • Let’s review the key points of this module. • Remember to include a second time frame • Follow protocol for closing out and adding goals/objectives • Complete all progress reports at the end of each marking period AND when closing out the IEP • New protocol for transferring IEP folders • Collaboration is the key!
