Individual Education Planning:
A Handbook for Developing and Implementing IEP's
The term IEP is a global term referring to a written document developed and implemented by a team, outlining a plan to address the individual learning needs of students.
This handbook is intended to provide student service administrators, principals, classroom and resource teachers, and other professionals with an effective process for deciding which students require IEPs. It is also designed to assist educators in developing, implementing and evaluating these Individual Educational Plans.
