An important part of a special education teacher’s job is to write effective IEPs for their students. There are many different components involved in the IEP. The special education teacher must be able to write all components of the IEP to be individualized to each student’s unique needs.
Review the “Mock IEP.” Based on the “Present Levels of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance (PLAAFP) Example,” complete the highlighted sections for Lesley’s IEP to include:
- Additional documentation or consideration of special factors
- Three measurable IEP goals
- Accommodations
- Special education services to be provided
- Least restrictive environment
In addition, beneath the IEP template write a 500-750 word rationale for your decisions in the highlighted sections of the IEP.

ACCOMODATIONS
Date given to Genera Ed. Teacher: Service Coordinator:
Accommodations do not change now much of the curriculum the student is expected to learn. It only changes how students access and express knowledge on a daily basis. Accommodations are changes in how a student accesses information and demonstrates learning. Accommodations do not substantially change the instructional level, content, or performance criteria. The changes are made in order to provide a student with equal access to learning and equal opportunity to show what he or she knows and can do. Students with disabilities who qualify in one academic area are eligible for accommodations in other areas to the extent that their disability would affect performance in those areas.
