and sat in his assigned table. After morning announcements, he came over and showed that

Mr. Walker assigned him to work on classwork on his laptop. After showing it to me, he sat

down and started on his assignment. While walking around room and checking on the other

students, Malcolm raised his hand to sharpen his pencil. He returned back to his seat and

worked quietly and remained focused. In Malcolm present level or classroom, he has a 73 in

Language Arts, 74 in Physical Science, 74 in Reading Intervention, 73 in World History, 77 in

Physical Education, and a 60 in Math. The results of Malcolm most recent evaluations show

he is on the reading level consistent of students in the 6th Grade. His math assessments show he

is on the math level consistent of students in the 5th grade.

 Goals

The transition goals for Malcolm are the students will be prepared to participate in a 2 to 4-

year postsecondary education program based on completion of graduation requirements and

© 2019. Grand Canyon University. All Rights Reserved. Page 17 of 20


meeting college admission requirements. Malcolm will reach college and career readiness by

potentially earning an industry career credential. Malcolm will be prepared to participate in

community activities and live independently based on independent living skill level and

identification of community\living options. Malcolm reading goal is Malcolm will compare

and contrast two events in a text drawing on specific details in the text with 80% accuracy.

(ELA 8.3.2) Malcolm math goal is Malcolm will solve multi-step equations with 80%

accuracy on class assignments. (M.8.9b.2)

 Services Provided

The students receive special education services in reading and math. The special education

teacher will provide Malcolm with direction instruction address deficits in compare and

contrast two events in a text using guided instruction, repeated practice, worksheets, and

interactive activities. He also receives services in Mathematics, the special education teacher

will provide Malcolm, with direct instruction to address deficits in solving multi-step

equations using guided instruction, repeated practice, worksheets, and interactive activities. In

the gen ed classroom he will also receive many accommodations.

 LRE

Malcolm Least Restrictive Environment will consist of 80% of the day in the General

Education Classroom Environment and 20% in the resource room. This is because Malcolm

requires a small group instruction to address his deficits in reading, math, and transition.

 ESY

The IEP team has considered the need for Malcolm to have an extended school year, just

© 2019. Grand Canyon University. All Rights Reserved. Page 18 of 20


so he can stay on task and not lose information doing the summer months.

 Procedural Safeguards and Prior written notice

Both the procedural safeguards, and prior written notice were sent home two weeks prior

to the meeting.

 Signatures and Copies

Plan for Conflicts:

 Communication is the best way to involve parents in the development of the IEP:

Sending letters, phone calls, emails, and using Class Dojo or Google Classroom.

 Send Home a Questionnaire

 Get to know your parents a long time before the IEP

 Listen to the parents, do not try to be the expert

 Address concerns honestly and to the best of your ability

The only issue or conflict I anticipate that may arise during the meeting is the parent may not

attend. Some of the IEP meeting I have set it on have had to be virtual or the parent simply did

not attend. I also anticipate the parents not understanding certain parts of the plan. I will

address this issue by following up with the parent and also, I will make the meeting easy to

understand and address all concerns and questions. I will also explain anything someone in the

meeting may present that the parents may not understand.

Reflection: As I was preparing for my first IEP meeting, I can say I was very nervous, and I

really noticed there were things I could have done better with. I loved my introduction of the

team as I believed I was able to capture the purpose and what each one was used for. In a real

IEP meeting this is something I believe could make up break the meeting, not having the

correct people present or having people who do not know the child could have a negative

effect on the meeting. I also believe I did well with the purpose of the meeting, I feel that

knowing why we are meeting is assistant to a great meeting. In many things we always discuss

the purpose of being there. Without knowing the purpose of the meeting, a parent or any other

member of the IEP team could take over the meeting and not focus on what we are there for. I

believe the biggest area I need to work on is understanding the PLAAFP. This is what I

consider the meat of the meeting and is most important to understand. I believe this is where

we have to really understand what we are talking about and the purpose of each category. I

know that I am not the one doing the talking at this point, but this is really good to understand.

I believe this is where the majority of parents questions and concerns will be. This is where the

student eligibility lies and I do not want to mess that up, by making a simple mistake. My plan

is to continue to work with my mentor teacher and watch sample IEP meetings online. I also

plan to attend as many IEP meetings as I can before I have my own, and I will attend

Professional Development’s as provided by my school or district.
