The Individualized Education Program (IEP) is the cornerstone of quality education for each child with a disability. It creates the opportunity for staff, parents, related service providers, community members, and students to work together to improve educational results. We will give updated information on state requirements for IEP development. Participants will analyze their own IEP's, check for alignment, complete hands-on activities, and work with groups to generate ideas for completing a compliant IEP. The IEP will be linked to the EBR process. The purpose of the Educational Benefit Review (EBR) is to determine if a student's IEP is reasonably calculated for the student to receive educational benefit.

Creating a supportive and effective Professional Learning Community requires a commitment to empathy, reflection, and a willingness to adapt practices to meet the diverse needs of students. By sharing insights, reflecting on challenges, and working together, educators can improve their ability to serve students with disabilities and help them achieve their full potential. We would like to invite all Life Skills Support and Multi Disabilities Support teachers to join our PLC. Three sessions planned throughout the school year will give us opportunities to collaborate, share ideas and learn about new resources to use in your classroom. Working in isolation can be a challenge in special education. Collaboration fosters a sense of community and creates a supportive network that enhances both teaching practices and student outcomes.
