Special Education Update - Our district is currently in a period of special education IEP compliance monitoring through DPI. Every Local Education Agency in Wisconsin completes the monitoring based on a 5-year cycle, and we are always lucky enough to be monitored during the 1st year in the cycle of new requirements. Our special education staff members are aware of the monitoring and the work that goes into learning about new requirements needed to remain compliant in our IEP-writing, but the rest of our staff might not have heard about it yet.
We want all staff members to know because special education case managers will be asking teaching colleagues for information about students that they might not have had to ask about before. For example, they will likely ask questions about a student's achievement in relation to the standards taught in the student's grade level. Referencing grade-level standards in reading, writing, math, science, AND social studies in IEPs is new for us. Our special education teachers greatly appreciate the information provided by our regular education teachers when they ask these standards-related questions. It helps them write compliant and effective IEPs that support student growth.
Thank you to all of our staff members for collaborating around our students!
