IEP | How to Write An IEP | That Special Educator

[@Gaia-n8y]

Thank you for your information. I am a first year special education teacher and needed this straightforward explanation.

[@476233]

If you need any help, please remember to reach out to others with a background in special education or who have been in a SPED position. The paperwork is so intense and can be difficult to understand, so never be afraid to ask for help! You are not alone. Even after 10 years, I still have to ask other people for ideas or suggestions. LOL

Thank you so much!! I’m a first year teacher and I definitely needed this. This was beyond helpful.

[@luv2learnify]

I am just about to start teaching in a Special Education class for the 2020-2021school year and IEP writing scares me terribly. I am binge watching all your videos during this pandemic lock down. Thank you for making these videos.

[@thatspecialeducator1061]

It can be super scary! When you get to your new school there are special things that school might do differently! Hope my videos are helpful!

[@luv2learnify]

Nathaniel Hall why would you be pissed, most kids in special ed have shown a need or lack in one or more areas or have a diagnosis from birth. You would be pissed that people were helping access education in a way that is specific to you? Special education isn’t a punishment, I’m having a hard time understanding your question.

[@christophermarquez3966]

Awesome comment! I will also start teaching in a Special Education Class for the 2020-2021 school year in California. I am also scared of IEP’s. How is it going for yourself? Any tips? Good luck

[@lamont-narekawhitfield2223]

@@christophermarquez3966 I am still pretty nervous especially with everything going on. I have found some pretty good resources such as txr20.escworks.net/catalog/session.aspx?session_id=59186 really quick as easy modules for guidance this is a Texas course so maybe the regional support in your area has one. Then I joined Special Education Teachers Group on Facebook and there is always resources being shared in there. Hope these help you! Good luck also.

Thank you! I needed to write something “in the style of an IEP” and this was very helpful. I essentially got what I needed in the first 3/4 of the video but then I had to stay and make sure the ghost didn’t get you 😂

[@elsavarghese2734]

Thank u ma'am. I was confused about IEP when I search Google. But now the real example given was very informative. I am planning to join as a special educator.

[@MsKkkCcc2023]

I have been teaching SPED with a self-contained class in the Philippines for over a decade and I think that his video is extremely helpful for its comprehensiveness. I am also preparing myself to teaching in US. You don't know how much this means to me. Thank you!

[@tarterkl]

Thank you so much. I just started my first year as an ED teacher during covid and I already have four IEPs due. All the time away from school made me feel so ill-prepared and shakey with everything I learned before graduation. This is such a great refresher. So grateful to you.

[@marykorah7981]

I am going for an interview soon and this was so comprehensive and skill awakening. Your experience shines through....thank you so much!!

[@Shaimckenzie447]

I loved this video and it was very informational. I am graduating in December and I have had some practice in writing an IEP, but it was hard to understand. Seeing you walk through and explain each portion helped me understand the process of writing an IEP and prepared me more. I also like how you gave a real example IEP because I have always worked off of case studies and they were hard to pull information from since they were not directed towards writing an IEP. Thank you for the video!

[@marsheajones2840]

I am currently in school obtaining my bachelors degree in elementary education and Special Education, I can definitely say this video was really helpful.

We will have our eligibility mtg tomorrow to decide if Our 6yo son will receive special services {which he will} and even tho I’m not a special Ed teacher but a COTA & parent, I want to be able to understand how an IEP can be created. Also, u r HILARIOUS! School bldgs can be scary when no one is around hehehe God bless u! 😁

If you focus on that corner just below the inflated globe you can see some small changes in the video. It be a reflection outside.

[@musicgirl999]

I hear the way IEPs are done also vary by county as well. Is this true? And what if let’s say you schedule an IEP exactly a year later. But then the parent or guardian have to reschedule to a later date for whatever reason? I know you talked about compliance.

[@kristynwestcott220]

What if a student doesn't reach a goal? Do you talk to the parents at the next IEP and tweak/change the goal?

[@thatspecialeducator1061]

It’s up to your special ed director on how to have that conversation. I would talk to the admin at your school

[@BlondeBeautyxo24]

No matter how much practice I get at my university, it still terrifies me to start writing them my first year of teaching (I graduate May of 2020)! Do you have other teachers and admin go over them to check for errors or reccomend that?

[@thatspecialeducator1061]

It can be tricky! Yes, I have some one review. Someone more senior than me and someone I trust!

As a college student and future SpEd teacher, in your first year as a teacher how do you first assess students and write their IEP's if you do not know them yet? Also, what do you do by the time of the next IEP meeting if said student has not met their projected goals? Thanks.

[@thatspecialeducator1061]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gH3NqpttrdOckLs This video talks about writing goals and touches on the assessment part. You will have to assess based on what you think is best, and write the iep with what you have or what you can gather. When they haven't met their goals you are honest with the team, then write similar goals again without copying anything word for word.
