Special Education Basics for a Busy Early Childhood Classroom: Working with Students with IEPs Virtual - 37759
This session is designed as one part of a practical, connected learning series for general education teachers working with students, ages early childhood through second grade. When a student with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) joins a classroom, general education teachers may encounter unfamiliar terminology, paperwork, accommodations, and expectations. Knowing what these documents mean and how to use them in daily instruction can help teachers create an inclusive classroom where students with disabilities can participate, learn, and feel a sense of belonging. In this session, teachers will unpack common special education terminology and paperwork, including ARD meetings, IEPs, and Full and Individual Initial Evaluations (FIIEs).
