While a student is receiving special education services, you’ll need to review their IEP annually to ensure the student’s needs are still being met.
Steps
To review a student's IEP:- Create a Parent Invitation.
- The purpose of the meeting should be To develop, review, and/or revise the student's IEP.
- Provide meeting details and specify the written notice number.
- Share the document with the parents.
- When the parents respond, mark the document complete.
- Create a new Individualized Education Program for the student. You can create a new IEP from scratch or by copying an existing IEP to a new document.
- When copying an IEP from a previous year, several of the fields will copy over and will already be pre-populated, which can help save time.
- The meeting type should be Annual Review.
- Provide relevant dates.
- Next ETR should be due 3 years after the last evaluation.
- Next IEP review should be due in 1 year.
- If you created the IEP from scratch, fill it out as normal. If you copied from an existing document, review all fields and update as necessary.
- Share the document with the parents and meet to review the plan.
- In Section 15, have the parents fill out the IEP Annual Review section.
- Add signatures and complete the document.
When the plan is completed, a deadline will be calculated to complete another IEP parent invitation and an annual IEP review in 1 year.
