More information about DPI Sample CCR IEP Forms

CCR IEP training and technical assistance supports compliance with procedural requirements and improved outcomes for students with disabilities. A CCR IEP Checklist has been developed for use as a resource when reviewing IEPs during CCR IEP training and technical assistance. The CCR IEP Checklist is aligned with the I-4 Linking Form and includes additional prompts for consideration. Districts are encouraged to use the checklist when training staff, parents and students to develop IEPs that promote improved outcomes for students. Districts will also benefit from reviewing IEPs using the CCR IEP Checklist in preparation for participation in their Reading Drives Achievement: Procedural Compliance Self-Assessment (RDA: PCSA).

A Guide to Implementing IEPs and Monitoring Progress of IEP Goals When Moving Between In-Person, Hybrid, or Virtual Learning Environments

The WI DPI special education team has published a guide to assist IEP teams with a process for reviewing IEPs when a student receiving special education services through an IEP moves from in-person to a virtual or hybrid learning environment. The guide emphasizes a thorough review of a student’s disability-related needs, IEP goals, IEP services, and measures used to monitor progress of IEP goals to ensure the student continues to receive a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). The guide also provides extensive appendix and resources related to virtual monitoring of progress on IEP goals.
