IEP Quality Tutorial

The IEP Quality Tutorial is a web-based decision-making support system designed to help IEP teams develop high-quality, standards-based Individualized Education Programs for students with disabilities in grades 2-8. The Tutorial provides evidence-based tools and resources including Help Topics with guidance and examples, Toolbox Resources with downloadable planning sheets, Goal Assistants to help prioritize state learning standards and write measurable annual goals and short-term objectives, Case Student Scenarios, and a Resource Library. Teachers receive initial 3-hour on-site training on using the Tutorial, along with a training manual and ongoing email/phone support. The Tutorial emphasizes data-driven decisions, prioritization of instructional choices within a standards-based environment, and individualization of IEPs to meet students' unique needs.
