Events and Resources _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Preparing for Your Child's Individual Education Plan (IEP) Workshop - The IEP process can be a daunting experience for parents concerned about their child having a good school year. After all, the school personnel are the experts, right? Well, so are you when it comes to knowing your child. This workshop will provide an overview of the four stages of Individual Education Plan (IEP) development and the seven essential components of an IEP. As well, we will review: developing “S.M.A.R.T.” outcomes or goals; questions to ask to improve the IEP; and the roles of the different team members. We will look at the new Parent Guide to Appropriate Education introduced by Community Living Manitoba, Appropriate Education: The Amendment to the Public Education Act regulations and standards, and the other Manitoba Education documents that pertain to the IEP process. There will be time for folks to share and learn from the experiences of other parents. Come and learn more about how to contribute towards the creation of an effective working document that leads to important measurable gains for your child. Check out the poster for more details.
