FloatinFrom the OSR; a continually updated document for each student. Information within the OSR include; previous report cards, reports from teachers and other professional staff, medical information, and any other school history. Students previous IEP's can also be found here.g topic

Provide some samples of the students work, which will show their areas of need, strength and progress.

Provide classroom observations, which will show students daily behaviours.

Opinion on how he believes the students learn best (ex. visual learner, hands-on)

1. Specific transition goals, as well as how they can be achieved. 2. Person or Agency responsible for providing assistance in completing the goal 3. A time line regarding when the goals will take place.

The readings from this chapter ( 5 ) were about The Individual Education Plan (IEP) and all of its entirety. Explaining who the important/crucial members of the team are and what their responsibilities entail.

Step 5 - Reviewing and Updating the IEP; needs to be reviewed each reporting period

Step 4 - Implementing the IEP; Teachers/ Educational Assistants (EA) need to become familiarized with the information on the IEP as they will be delivering the needs to the student.

Step 3 - Developing the IEP; information is consolidated, possible gaps are filled, and any form of discrepancies are resolved. The material is then summarized on the IEP.

Step 1 - Gather Information; from the Ontario Student Record (OSR), insights from key persons, formal tests, classroom observations, & student work.

Step 2 - Setting the Direction; a collaboration involving staff, parents, and sometimes the student take place in order to begin establishing a plan.
