General education teachers know their students, but IEP Input can be tricky. Our Teacher IEP Input Forms and Questionnaires provide structure and support, so they can provide the most useful information for a strengths-based Present Level of Performance. These surveys are specifically structured to help you use teacher input to quickly identify strengths, goals, and accommodations across all of the areas in an IEP! Whether it’s for a student with only consult services, or one you know incredibly well, these forms will help you gather and organize the information you need to create a comprehensive IEP. How to Use: As a Special Education Coordinator, I often wrote IEPs for students I rarely observed in General Education. I used these forms to get their input without having to schedule a meeting. 1. Select the pages that are appropriate for the student’s IEP. You can share all of the pages, or you can share just a few relevant inventories. Your options include: Academic Inventory Social/Emotional Inventory Behavior Inventory Independent Functioning Inventory Communication Inventory Student Information (strengths, interests, preferences, grades, etc.) 2. Complete these forms yourself or share then digitally or in print with the teachers who serve your student. Make sure to give them ample time to complete the forms, as there is a lot of needed information. 3. Collect the complete forms from teachers and identify the student's strengths and needs to write rich descriptions of the students’ current performance. You will notice that all questions are stated positively, so you can quickly glance for check boxes marked “no” to identify possible areas for support. Use the list of skills marked "no" to identify possible goals and accommodations needed. Teachers are also asked to prioritize any concerns, helping you quickly include how the student is impacted by their disability. This can help you identify if any additional data is needed to determine appropriate accommodations, goals, and/or services. How will using these forms make writing IEPs faster and easier? Jump right into the information. Don’t waste time asking yourself “where do I start with this student?” Move through the inventories to outline the strengths and weaknesses in each domain quickly. Make sure you’re covering all of the domains. Using an organized inventory will means you don’t have to stress about leaving anything out. Ensure you include several positives and strengths about the student. IEPs have to address the needs of the student, which can make it easy to get bogged down in what the student can’t do. These inventories are designed to also help you quickly identify strengths, so you can include all the things your students excel at in their IEPs.
