Special Education IEP Training

The Talking IEP
Videos --> about the Fall 2007 MISD IEP

These videos provide a narrated overview of page changes in the Fall, 2007 Macomb IEP.
Additional videos provide details about the newer IEP sections of select pages.
Reference documents and videos provide key information for IEP Teams.

These IEP Form changes were driven by:
- Revisions in the Federal IDEA 2004 Rules and Regulations
- Assessment Guidelines from the Michigan Office of Educational Accountability
- Michigan High School Graduation and ACT/Michigan Merit Exam Requirements
- Michigan State Performance Plan (SPP) - Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
- The Continuous Improvement Monitoring Process (CIMS)
- Suggestions from Macomb County Special Education Administrators and IEP Participants.

Great News: Preschool and Elementary IEP Teams have 2 fewer IEP pages to discuss.
   All Transition Topics (Pages 4-T1 & 4-T2) can be bypassed for students under age 13.
More Great News: Data in the OLD electronic IEP can be imported into the new IEP.
