The Delaware Standards Based IEP, Revealed For All To See!

The Delaware DOE gave a presentation to the Governor’s Advisory Council for Exceptional Citizens (GACEC) on standards-based IEPs in the beginning of this month at GACEC’s fall retreat. I am putting it here so everyone can see exactly what standards based IEPs are, and how they fit into an IEP. You can judge for yourself if they will help or hinder students with disabilities. Or you can comment. I’d like to see what people think!

As for how I feel about these new IEPs, I think anyone who has read any article on this blog would know what I think and why. It’s one thing to have state standards that I don’t agree with, but to push them into an Individualized Education Plan and use the word “Rigor” on the 2nd page is not going to impress me at all.

***Attention Special Education Advocates in Delaware*** @KilroysDelaware @ed_in_de @dwablog #netde #eduDE

This article is for all the special education advocates in Delaware! I know quite a few of you, but I want to put up a list of who you are on here as well as the best contact information you would like known publicly. Someone in the mental health field asked me for a list, so I thought this would be a good way to do this. I don’t want to give anyone contact information that I know on a personal basis. Please email me at kevino3670@yahoo.com or write a comment on here. Thanks everyone!
