Patricia Williams & Anita Castro Special Education Team 1 Sample IEP Forms College and Career Ready

Why All the Changes? Approximately 20% of students with disabilities are performing at or above “proficiency” in reading. Focus on procedural compliance has not resulted in better outcomes. New Federal emphasis on outcomes: Results Driven Accountability (RDA). 2

Results Driven Accountability (RDA) Reading Drives Achievement: Success through Literacy 3

The primary vehicle for providing FAPE is through an appropriately developed and implemented IEP. An IEP must take into account the impact of the child’s disability on his or her involvement and progress in the general education curriculum. Goals must be ambitious but achievable, and aligned with grade-level content standards. U.S. Dept. of Education Dear Colleague Letter, Nov. 2015
