| IEP Help - Positive Planner |
Positive Educational Planning is a simple planning portfolio that
guides family members to reflect and share what they know of their child as a learner and a family member. The portfolio is sequenced in a way that presents the child as a complete and unique individual first. It then addresses broad aspects of their learning characteristics and concludes with consideration of learning
priorities for the future. In it, you will find an example from one child’s family as illustration of the portfolio’s consideration points. You will also find a blank set of reproducible pages that can be used to create a portfolio for your own child. |
