From the Virginia Department of Education, this technical assistance document enhances training and guidance on the development of Individualized Education Program (IEPs) for students with disabilities by incorporating more specific examples of high quality present levels of academic achievement and functional performance descriptions (commonly known as the present level of performance), annual goals, and postsecondary transition sections. The guide provides an introduction to the present level of performance descriptions and examples of aligned goals for pre-kindergarten through postsecondary transition IEPs. Additional resources for IEP development and suggestions on how to use the guide during local professional development activities are provided.
