The IEP Project by Digital Promise, Brooklyn Lab Charter Schools, and EALA is designed to prioritize student strength by leveraging IEPs as catalysts for student success. During the session, we will explore the “how” behind curriculum and measurement centered around student strength and agency. We will explain needed mindset shifts, discuss research behind learner variability, elevate student voice, and explore the IEP Guide and Learner Variability Navigator (a free tool).
