To support your child’s specific needs, Individual Education Plans (IEPs) will be developed in Terms 1 and 3 each year. These IEPs are created collaboratively during meetings involving you, your child, and their class teacher while your child is attending our kura. Other specialists involved with your child may also attend if required.
The plans celebrate what your child can do as well as the aspirations you and your child have for their future. It also includes:
- Specific deaf identify and well being goals
- Individual curriculum goals for reading, writing and maths
- Teaching considerations and resources to help your child reach their goals
- What you can do at home to support your child
IEPs are living documents that evolve over time as your child’s needs change. You and your child’s team will regularly discuss their progress and future goals, and the plan will be updated accordingly.
To support each learner, teachers include IEP goals in their weekly planning, using them to guide targeted teaching throughout the year.
You can find more information about IEPs on the IEP Online website.
Collaboration for Success is the Ministry of Education's compact reference to current NZ research, policy and effective practice in support students with learning support needs.
