INEC 503 - Assessment for Planning in Inclusive Early Childhood Education Systems


The focus of this course is to examine and practice how assessment drives planning and instruction. This course will also focus on the processes leading up to and including the development of useful, practical, and teacher/family-friendly Individualized Family Service Plans (IFSPs) and Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) to address the requirements of State and Federal regulations and the specific needs of children, birth through age 8, and families. We will explore required skills needed for the IFSP/IEP process as well as regulatory information, referral information, evaluations, eligibility procedures and requirements, including identifying present levels of performance, writing meaningful and measurable annual goals and short-term objectives/benchmarks, teacher participation, functional behavior assessments, and development of the IFSPs/IEPs. This course includes an additional and required interprofessional experience, IPE*598, which is embedded in the course and meets outside the regular face-to-face class meetings of INEC*503. 25 hours fieldwork required for Initial certification. 20 hours fieldwork required for additional certification. Prerequisites for Initial certification: INCL*501, INCL*502, INEC*510. Prerequisites for Changing Level certification: INCL*601, INCL*602, INEC*510. Prerequisites for Same Level certification: INCL*601 and INCL*602.
