  11. A Look . . . At our recent I-Plan Study

  12. Overview of I-Plan Study • Developed format for reviewing I-Plans in behavioral area. • Determined number of I-Plans developed in 07-08 school year that were focused on behavior (total 173). Represented approximately 23% of all I-Plans. • Randomly selected stratified sample of behavioral I-Plans. • Selected I-Plans reviewed by two members of behavioral team (exception High School)

  13. Sample • Preschool (10 - 45% of all) • Elementary (20 - 16% of all) • Middle (10 - 48% of all) • High School (5 - 100% of all) • Total Sample - 45 Beh. I-Plans

  14. Developing Format for Review • Format developed from content of AEA procedural manual. • Draft of format presented to team with discussion of needed changes. • Team review of selected I-Plans. • Comparison of individual team ratings using format. • Determination of acceptable level of inter-rater reliability.

  15. Rubric of I-Plan Review Form • Clearly does not meet expectations for this component part. 4. Meets minimal standard for this component, but would be difficult to defend from a quality perspective. 7. An example of high quality in relation to this component area.

  16. I-Plan Components • Completeness of Demographic Information (Yes or No) • Adequacy of Summarization of Parent Input and Participation • Delineation of Team Meeting Dates and Brief Summary of Results • Current Student Performance and Focus of Instruction

  17. Current Student Performance and Focus of Instruction • Adequacy of Specific Areas of Instruction Focus • Delineation of Current Level of Performance • Delineation of Expected Level of Performance and Comparison • Specification of Difference Between Current Level and Expected Level of Performance • Description of Student’s Strengths in Instructional Area • Delineation of Multiple Sources of Data to Support This Plan • Description of Other Factors

  18. I-Plan Components(continued) • Statement of Goals • Instructional Plan and Decision Making • Strategies and Materials • Data Collection Strategy • Decision Making Plan • Monitoring Plan
