This plan should address the concerns of the parents and must be tailored to suit the specific needs of the concerned child. Developing an IEP involves a collaborative approach from the teachers, parents and students and other special education staff. Team effort is central to the success of the program as only when input from all the members are garnered can a successful plan be charted out. Once the eligibility criterion is established the next step is to put in written form the IEP. The present level of education performance document is an important source to be drawn from while developing a comprehensive IEP. It includes all information pertaining to the student's strengths, weaknesses and other qualities. Observing the performance reports of the student would provide a good idea of the strengths and weakness of the student in all areas. Based on this the expectations or goals for the particular student may be appropriately ascertained. The IEP document should also explicitly specify non-participation of the student in particular activities with other non-disabled students. [LD Online]
Analysing the present level of performance also enables the committee responsible for forming the IEP to have a more exact understanding of the learning style of the particular student, and also to identify the
[U.S. Department of Education] the present level performance report also highlights the particular disabilities and how it affects the student's participation and performance. Thus, special education services that are needed for the student, the training needed for the teachers are all identified based on the present performance report. Since the present level of performances report includes all these important information about the student it constitutes the basic input for development of long-term goals, short-term objectives and a comprehensive IEP for the student.

(Galston) All in all, it is clear that your social statute is a strong factor of influence when concerning the level of education that you receive. In some isolate cases, people can actually improve the efficiency of their educational systems. It is absolutely necessary for an educational institute to have virtuous directors in order for its students to become well educated. An academic curriculum would surely be benefic for the
independent study. It is still a broadcast-related approach to teaching and doesn't give the student an opportunity to fully participate in the learning process. Telecourses are ideal for reaching thousands or millions of students who are motivated to learn. The drawback is the lack of interaction with instructors. The development of interactive television based on satellite and cable networks, and the development of interactive video have contributed to the development
In examining this issue, the authors identify several key issues that may play a part in creating barriers to positive behavior support implementation by educators and administrators. These issues include a questioning of the essential functionality of this relatively new way of approaching classroom and behavior management, a lack of familiarity with the principles and practices of positive behaviors support, and other factors including administrative and parental concerns. The
For Bush, the "formation and refining of policy proposals" (Kingdon's second process stream in policymaking) came to fruition when he got elected, and began talking to legislators about making educators and schools accountable. Bush gave a little, and pushed a little, and the Congress make its own changes and revisions, and the policy began to take shape. The third part of Kingdon's process stream for Bush (politics) was getting the

The outcome revealed a significant difference in Mindy's behavior as a result of incorporating things that pleased Mindy and things that Mindy related to into the school environment along with an increase in positive praise. In my opinion, the outcome
In fact, PBS is an inclusive approach since it becomes increasingly applicable to different segments of society such as multicultural youth and urban youth (Utley, Kozleski, Smith, & Draper, 2002). Perhaps, the reason this form of support applies so universally because it uses a collaborative team of people whom know and care about the troubled teenager. These individuals such as family members, teachers, counselors, and administrators come together and
