Improving organizational efficiencies to impact academic outcomes and student success.
Prepared for Educational Leaders Fall, 2019
1967 – Almost 200,000 individuals with significant disabilities were in state institutions, many of which provided only minimal food, clothing, and shelter. 1970 – U.S. schools educated only 1 in 5 of the nation’s children with disabilities, and many states had laws excluding those who were deaf, blind, emotionally disturbed or intellectually disabled.

Both the number and percentage of students served under IDEA declined from 2004–05 through 2011–12. Between 2011–12 and 2017–18, the number of students served increased from 6.4 million to 7.0 million and the percentage served increased from 13 percent of total public school enrollment to 14 percent of total public school enrollment.
63 percent of students with disabilities are in general education classrooms for 80 percent or more of the day.

IEP
IDEA requires that the IEP include the following: the child’s present levels
functional performance;
IEP
Measurable Annual Goals, including academic and functional goals, designed to meet the child’s needs that result from the child’s disability to enable the child to be involved in and make progress in the general education curriculum;
IEP
Measurable Annual Goals MUST also meet each of the child’s other educational needs that result from the child’s disability;
IEP
How the child’s progress toward meeting the above annual goals will be measured and when periodic reports on the progress the child is making toward meeting the annual goals will be provided;
IEP
the Special Education and Related Services and supplementary aids and services, (based on peer-reviewed research to the extent practicable), to be provided to the child, or on behalf of the child, and the program modifications or supports for School Personnel that will be provided for the child
IEP
Services Provided should allow the child to advance appropriately toward attaining the annual goals; be involved in and make progress in the general education curriculum and participate in Extracurricular and other Nonacademic Activities;
IEP
The SWD MUST be educated and participate with other children with disabilities and nondisabled children TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT APPROPRIATE
IEP
The extent, if any, to which the child will not participate with nondisabled children in the regular class;
IEP
Any appropriate Accommodations that are necessary to measure the academic achievement and functional performance of the child
Assessments
IEP
If the IEP team determines that the child will take an Alternate Assessment on a particular state or district-wide assessment of student achievement, the IEP should detail why the child cannot participate in the regular assessment and why the particular Alternate Assessment selected is appropriate for the child;
IEP
The projected date for the beginning
frequency, location, and duration.
IEP
Beginning not later than when the first IEP is in effect when the child is 16, and updated annually thereafter, the IEP must include appropriate measurable postsecondary goals
IEP TRANSITION
Post Secondary goals related to Training, Education,EMPLOYMENT, and, where Appropriate, Independent Living Skills and the transition services needed to assist the child in reaching those goals

What we focus on is what improves.
attention to everything, so we must prioritize.
to drive desirable behaviors and best practices among all stakeholders.
Disability is a natural part of the human experience and in no way diminishes the right of individuals to participate in or contribute to society. Improving educational results for children with disabilities is an essential element of our national policy of ensuring equality of
living, and economic self-sufficiency for individuals with disabilities.
