Success with IEPs: Solving Five Common Implementation Challenges in the Classroom (ASCD Arias)

by Vicki Caruana

Overview

As the inclusive classroom becomes the placement of choice for many students with disabilities, the implementation of a student's individualized education plan (IEP) is no longer the sole responsibility of a special education teacher. Together the general education teacher and the special education teacher work to ensure each student's progress toward meeting carefully crafted goals.

Success with IEPs provides teachers with practical, research-based advice and solutions to five of the most common challenges posed by IEPs:

Understanding the full scope of the teacher's role

Doing the critical prep work for IEP meetings

Offering modifications and accommodations

Contributing to the IEP team

Monitoring student progress

Author and educator Vicki Caruana explores principles that debunk some common misconceptions about how to work with students with disabilities. She offers insights, tips, and strategies that will help teachers fine-tune their practice to better meet each child's unique needs. For teachers uncertain of their ability to meet the needs of students with IEPs, this manageable guide is a great place to start.
