In unusual circumstances the GIEP team may conclude that the student is gifted but the educational needs are met outside the school district’s instructional setting.
The GIEP team makes the decision whether a student is gifted or not gifted and requires specially designed instruction. The Notice of Recommended Assignment (NORA)documents the decision of the GIEP team.A student who is not gifted does not receive a GIEP.
Achievementmay bemeasured through the short-term learning outcomes. The short-term learning outcomes are written as steps to reach the annual goal and are measurable.
The Notice of Recommended Assignment (NORA) should be provided to the parentswith an annual GIEP or anytime a significant change is made to the GIEP. A NORA provides the parents with formal opportunity to agree or disagree with the identification, evaluation, educational placement, or the provision of gifted education as written in the GIEP.
The regulations do not require a signature on the GIEP; however,the GIEP document has a place to list the names and positions of the GIEP team participants.
Yes. The Chapter 16 regulations providethe 5 calendar days wait so that parents have an opportunity to change their minds after thinking about the provisions of the GIEP. School districts may honorthe parents’ request to move forward, but the parent may again have a change ofmind during the remaining days in the 5 calendar days.
Yes. The purpose of the 10 day period is to provide parents the opportunity to reflect on the process. If the parents wish to move forward before the end of the 10 day period, the school district may honor the parents’ request.
Yes. The level of intervention is not required on the GIEP.
Benefit meaningfully means accomplishment of or significant progress toward the GIEP annual goals. A gifted student would have meaningful benefit when their rate of learning results in a rate of achievement. For example: A student is determined to need an acceleration rate that is 1 1/2 times faster than the average, that is the student would be expected to learn 1 1/2 years of newmaterial in one school year. Meaningful benefit for that student would be achieving 1 1/2 years academic growth for one year spent in school.
Objective Criteria would set the level, standard, grade, performance, the percent of mastery or completion expected.
There are no upcoming events at this time.
