It would be nice to have links to blackboard power points about IEP writing. I also found the website www.adda-sr.org/iep.htm. This site has an easy to understand list of goals to consider when writing ieps

This website details the importance of an IEP, and things to consider.
Also, www.iep4u.com, seems to be an excellent site. It does require a log-in to get the bulk of information, but it will outline IEP goals, without logging in.
I always think it helps to show an example. So, the more examples of written IEP's, the better!!!

If you go to this web address and click on "samples" in the brief introduction provided by one of the teachers that helped develop the website (iep4u.com), it will take you to a page where you can view goals and objectives for all of the content areas. Just click on a content area from the red menu on the left-hand side of the screen, and you instantly have several sample goals and objectives for that content area!It also has sample goals and objectives for PE, Visual and Performing Arts, and Health.

This looked helpful(lots of legal info) - but since I have not written a IEP?

This website looked interesting. It gave general strategies that I.S should use in their classroom. I thought this checklist would be beneficial for someone who has not had their own classroom yet. Additionally, it gives you checklists for identify different behaviors and abilities. Hope this helps someone.

I have three websites that seem to be very useful. First the a-z website (http://www.readinga-z.com/more/reading_strat.html) helps with specific reading difficulties, providing not only books for children 1-6 grade but offers worksheets that allow for fluency checks, and comprehension checks. It costs $50.00 a year, but if you are teaching this content area it is fabulous! a-z also offers a science and writing website as well (http://www.sciencea-z.com/scienceweb/home.do for science and http://www.writinga-z.com/razwritingweb/home.do). Again, they offer skill tools and lesson strategies.

The second website I like is Education World (http://www.education-world.com/a_curr/voice/voice093.shtml). It offers teaching strategies and seems very helpful for lesson planning, school issues etc.

The third website is The Apple (http://www.theapple.com/). Again a website for lesson planning, news, resources, teacher issues, standards, videos and so on. My husband actually found this one and sent it to me via email. These last two web addresses do not cost anything to join and are very helpful. Hope you all can enjoy them too.

This website can be useful in the IEP writing process. It gives examples of well written stated objectives, and also poor examples not to use. It also provides helpful hints to remember when you are writing an IEP.

http://www.ocecd.org. The Ohio Coalition for the Education of Children with
Disabilities. They have a lot of info for parents and professionals including
booklets for a reasonable $. ie...What is an IEP, Nutrition and the IEP.
http://www.ocali.org. The Ohio Center for Autism and Low Incidence. Another
great site for info including a lending library.
I will keep trying and cussing for a bit longer.

The website I found and have used many times, depending on the class, is through Geneva Schools in Ohio. It has all Ohio standards, benchmarks, grade level indicators for writing, reading, math, SS, Science and technology and has links to examples of ODE model lesson plans all in one easy-to-navigate site!
