The Standards Aligned IEP training materials were developed to guide IEP teams through the process of: (1) teaching in a standards aligned system, (2) assessing students against PA standards (including the SAS Curriculum Framework components), (3) writing standards aligned IEPs to address specific needs, and (4) monitoring the progress of students throughout the year.

The foundation of a standards aligned IEP is standards aligned instruction - for all students - in all settings. For educators needing additional training on standards aligned instruction, a separate set of training materials are also available. See Teaching in a Standards Aligned System: Linking Assessment-Teaching-Learning.
