Frequently Asked Questions
How often should IEP progress be reported?
IDEA requires that parents receive progress reports at least as often as parents of general education students receive report cards (typically quarterly). Many districts also require additional data collection points.
What should be included in an IEP progress report?
A progress report should include the original goal, baseline data, current performance data, progress status code, a description of instructional strategies used, and recommendations for continued support.
What do the progress codes mean?
Common progress codes include: Mastered (M) - goal achieved, Progressing (P) - on track to meet goal, Limited Progress (LP) - growth below expected rate, and No Progress (NP) - minimal or no improvement toward goal.
What if a student is not making progress?
If a student is not making expected progress, the IEP team should convene to review and potentially revise the goals, instructional strategies, or services. Document all intervention attempts and consider whether additional assessments are needed.
