All Documents
Check! The ABC button by most of your text boxes in EdPlan is a quick way to clean up your narrative. Thank you for continuing to produce clean documents.
Check! Monthly Summary Narrative
Narrative must be different for every student. There is now an error check that will block you from completing your monthly summaries if you have them the same. Thanks for adding variety for the State of Michigan's reading pleasure :)
Message of the Day
EdPlan wants to share the critical and timely news with you! Please watch the message ticker when you log in for important updates. They occur regularly!
OHI Rubric: Updated document
We have reviewed and updated the OHI rubric document for eligibility considerations. I will forward the document to you electronically, and it will also be available in our Google docs for PLC. Hard copies will continue to be available in the SE office.
REED reviews
Your REED is a comprehensive review of all current data. This should include:
- current evaluation information
- current progress information
- current general education teacher input (variety of settings/classes)
- a specific connection of the disability to the educational impact
- behavioral data (if appropriate)
Clearly state all of this information in your REED. If, after a thorough review, you find that you are comfortable that the MET team will need no further data to determine a continued eligibility and the need for special education services...you are all set. At that point, you could be appropriate to request no further evaluations in your REED.
* Reminder - we DO test for all SLD and CI for at least two test cycles in a row, and should have updated testing before students go to high school. We should still be testing all CI and SLD as either 7th, 8th or 9th graders. That gives us a solid base to assist in the conversations for their high school path.
