Creating Effective IEPs: A Guide to Developing, Writing, and Implementing Plans for Teachers is a brief primer on Individualized Education Plans that provides practical instruction for writing IEPs, leading IEP meetings, and implementing the goals in a classroom setting. Those who are new to the IEP process will gain a clear and working knowledge of each component of the process from pre-referral to implementation. Each step is presented as a part of a “journey” that each student who has an IEP must travel and addresses many of the issues and concerns that both pre-service and novice teachers encounter. Practical exercises, lesson development tools, and real-world appendices help make the material accessible for students preparing to enter the workforce.
