Aligning IEPs to Academic Standards
For students with moderate to severe disabilities
With increased emphasis on students meeting state academic
standards, instructors of students with moderate and severe
disabilities have wondered about their role. Will they continue to
integrate their students in the regular classrooms and in the
general curriculum? Or will their participation in alternate
assessments aligned to alternate achievement standards leave them
stranded in self-contained classrooms once again?

Better IEP Meetings
Foster positive communication with families & other IEP team members and ensure FAPE provisions
Regular IEP Meetings can provide reassurance for everyone involved, or they can

clear, 3 stage framework:
(1) Preparing for the meeting
(2) Conducting the meeting and developing a legal and educationally sound IEP
(3) Ensuring the provisions required by FAPE are implemented after the
meeting.
A great book to help you foster positive communication with families

From Gobbledygook to Clearly Written Annual Goals
Writing clear, measurable annual IEP goals is a difficult skill to
master. The good news is that goal writing is easy once the steps
are revealed. In her latest book, Dr. Barbara Bateman takes actual
goals, which were poorly written and turns them into productive
ones. You learn to simplify the process by focusing on just four
ideas: Observable behavior, measurable criteria, a given or
condition for success and a final test.

Test Anxiety: A Practical Guide
For all staff involved in the IEP process to reduce student stress on test
performances while raising success rates Address test anxiety in a
practical way that will result in happier students with higher test scores.
Higher standards and greater accountability have brought an alarming rise in
test anxiety, which for some students can lead to a sense of dread and
result in poor test performances. To help students prepare and pass mandated
assessments, you must drill them on facts and give endless practice tests.
But just teaching to the test itself isn't enough. When preparing your
students for high stakes testing you need to help ready them emotionally as
well as academically, because for them these are truly stressful events.
That's what Test Anxiety does. It offers constructive, proven strategies
which identify root causes of test anxiety, reduce physical and emotional
symptoms, and increase student concentration and attention.
