32. Student Led IEPs: Description and Implementation
Session Dates
Wednesday November 16, 2022 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM - Webinar
Closed
This session will focus on Student Led IEPs and how to implement them. We will use research and data to show the importance of including the student and family in this process. Student led IEPs help to promote transition skills, self advocacy, highlight competence and student development. Westmoreland IU 7 will discuss their implementation and provide examples of their successes with student led IEPs. Participants will gain background knowledge, engagement tools, rationale, and the ability to incorporate these strategies in their classrooms.
Participants will be able to:
- Explain what a student led IEP meeting is and could/should include for all team participants.
- List ways to start implementing student led IEP meetings for students within special education.
- Utilize data and examples to support the introduction of student led IEPs.
