The Student Education Plan: Good Before COVID-19, Essential Now
While this workshop can support every parent’s instruction of a struggling student with varying levels of ability, it is especially for parents who have experienced the drastic changes in special needs services during the COVID-19 pandemic. This practical workshop will help parents understand the essential components of the homeschool version of the IEP. It’s called the Student Educational Plan, or SEP. Parents will learn how to incorporate the essential elements of a public-school IEP into a homeschool SEP. An SEP helps parents to clarify their understanding of the student’s strengths and weaknesses and to set priorities that address the most significant weaknesses. They then can write annual goals that are measurable and observable, and present clear standards to measure student success. Modifications and adaptations will be briefly addressed. Participants will receive a link to an online reproducible blank SEP document to create their child’s own educational plan.
