An important part of a special education teacher’s job is to write effective IEPs for their students. There are many different components involved in the IEP. The special education teacher must be able to write all components of the IEP to be individualized to each student’s unique needs.
Review the “Mock IEP.” Based on the “Present Levels of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance (PLAAFP) Example,” complete the highlighted sections for Lesley’s IEP to include:
Additional documentation or consideration of special factors
Three measurable IEP goals
Accommodations
Special education services to be provided
Least restrictive environment
In addition, beneath the IEP template write a 500-750 word rationale for your decisions in the highlighted sections of the IEP.

Maslow’s theory of self-actualization/human motivation
Bronfenbrenner’s ecological theory of human development
Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory

Discuss how the theory promotes the common good for early childhood students, families, and colleagues in ways that are consistent with the Christian worldview.
A title slide, reference slide, and presenter’s notes.
Support your presentation with a minimum of 3 scholarly resources.

Philosophers, psychologists, and educators throughout history have recognized the importance of providing young children with early educational experiences to support development and create a foundation for lifelong learning. It is important for early childhood special education (ECSE) professionals to understand how far we have come in educating young children with and without exceptionalities and to continue to advocate for quality education and care for all young children.   
Research online tools for creating infographics and select one to create an infographic that presents a timeline of at least five major historical events, movements, or laws that have influenced early childhood special education.

Brief description of each event
Analysis of the importance of each event and the effect of the event on early childhood special education
Visual representation

Special education staff have a professional responsibility to advocate for their students and their families. When collaborating with families, there are often opportunities to empower families and help them find services and resources in the community. Awareness of disability advocacy organizations and their relationship with public schools will help the educator assist families as they navigate the systems of support in their area to access needed supports and services. 
Allocate at least 2 hours in the field to support this field experience.
Tour a local disability advocacy organization and interview an administrator regarding:
Relationship of special education to the organization, and function of educational agencies
Continuum of placement and services available for individuals with disabilities
Publications relevant to individuals with disabilities
Information provided on disabilities
Activities relevant to individuals with disabilities
Culturally responsive factors that promote effective communication and collaboration with individuals with disabilities, families, school personnel, and community members
Roles of professional groups and referral agencies in identifying, assessing, and providing services to individuals with disabilities
Any resources to assist in programming for individuals with disabilities 
In 250-500 words, summarize your interview and your experience touring the organization. In addition, reflect upon advocating ethically for individuals with disabilities, and explain how you will use your findings in your future professional practice.
