IEPs can be 40, 50, even 60 pages long. The good news? As a paraprofessional, you don’t need to memorize the whole thing.

In Week 6 of Para Training in a Pinch, we’re breaking down the IEP and focusing on the information paras actually need to support students successfully throughout the school day. Think of the IEP as the team’s playbook. You don’t need every play. You need to know the ones for your position.

We’ll cover how to:
✔️ Find the IEP information you need
✔️ Understand student goals and accommodations
✔️ Use an IEP At-a-Glance or Snapshot
✔️ Keep important supports easily accessible
✔️ Connect IEP goals to daily data collection

We’ll also talk about creating a para clipboard or “sideline playbook” with the information you need throughout the day, such as schedules, student snapshots, data sheets, visuals, reinforcement information, and other supports.

And remember, your data isn’t “just numbers.” The information you collect helps the team determine whether supports are working, whether students are becoming more independent, and what should happen next.

This week’s challenge: Take five minutes to review the plan for one student you support. Ask yourself: What goal are we working on? What supports does this student need? What should I be watching for?

Know the plan. Play the plan.
