What is an IEP?

 

IEP stands for Individual Education Plan. 

All children on the Special Needs Register of a school will have an individual education plan to help them achieve the most from their education. The new Code of Practice guidelines state that pupils should be involved in both the writing and assessment process. IEPs should be reviewed and re-written on a termly basis. 

 

An Individual Education Plan includes:

Targets
Provision
Outcomes

Targets

Each pupil's IEP sets targets for him/her to work towards. The targets are related to the pupil's particular difficulty (learning, communication, behavioural or sensory/physical disability).

The targets set on an IEP should also be SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-related).

Provision

This details the nature of the extra support that the pupil will receive. This can include specialist teacher or teaching assistant support, working in a small group, alternative activities such as speech and language support, mentoring, life skills teaching, anger management etc.

Outcomes

The IEP should include a section showing the pupil's progress against his/her previous targets.
