Present Levels of Performance
Academic Achievement
[Student's Name] demonstrates emerging skills in pattern recognition and generation. While [he/she/they] can follow simple patterns, [he/she/they] struggles to generate patterns based on abstract rules and identify features not explicitly defined in these rules.
Social/Emotional Development
[Student's Name] shows willingness to participate in group activities but may exhibit frustration when faced with challenging tasks related to pattern identification. The goal will be to improve resilience and engagement through supportive techniques.
Communication Skills
[Student's Name] communicates effectively with peers and adults but occasionally needs support in articulating [his/her/their] thought processes during pattern-related tasks.
Annual Goals
-
Goal 1: Generate and Identify Patterns
- Objective: By the end of the IEP term, [Student's Name] will generate a pattern that follows a given rule with 80% accuracy in 4 out of 5 trials.
- Measurement: Progress will be evaluated through classroom observations and documented through a pattern generation rubric.
-
Goal 2: Identify Implicit Features of Patterns
- Objective: [Student's Name] will identify at least 3 implicit features of a pattern (such as color, shape, and size variations) not explicitly stated in the given rule with 70% accuracy in 4 out of 5 trials.
- Measurement: These will be assessed using pattern identification tasks and will be recorded in the student’s portfolio.
Instructional Strategies
- Direct Instruction: Teach explicit rules behind patterns using visual aids and manipulatives.
- Modeling: Demonstrate how to generate patterns and identify implicit features through guided practice.
- Small Group Work: Provide opportunities for peer collaboration, ensuring that [Student's Name] can discuss and reflect on patterns with classmates.
- Graphic Organizers: Utilize tools to help [Student's Name] organize thoughts and identify features during pattern tasks.
Accommodations and Modifications
- Extended Time: Allow extra time to complete tasks involving pattern generation and recognition.
- Visual Supports: Use charts and visuals to illustrate patterns and rules explicitly.
- Simplified Language: Present instructions using clear, straightforward language to ensure comprehension.
- Frequent Feedback: Provide regular feedback during tasks to build confidence and understanding.
Related Services
- Specialized Instruction: [Student's Name] will receive 60 minutes per week of specialized instruction focused on pattern generation and identification from a certified Special Education Teacher.
Transition Planning
As [Student's Name] progresses through the educational system, emphasis will be placed on transition goals related to independent problem-solving and critical thinking skills. These skills are crucial for future academic success.
Assessment Plan
- Formative Assessments: Conduct regular check-ins and informal assessments to monitor growth in both generating patterns and identifying implicit features.
- Summative Assessments: Use unit tests at the end of each instructional period to assess understanding comprehensively.
