The importance of an individual education plan

An IEP is important because it:

  • helps you develop a learning program for individual students
  • tracks a student’s progress against short-term SMART (specific, measurable, agreed, relevant, timely) goals to support achievement of long-term goals
  • shares information between the school, students, the student’s family and other support professionals, for example, a Koorie Engagement Support Officer, social worker or speech pathologist
  • helps you identify resources the student may need to achieve their goals. For example, visual supports for classroom schedules and activities or audiobooks
  • promotes student confidence and engagement
  • ensures you meet your legal obligations and accountabilities for students with disability under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 and the Disability Standards for Education 2005.
