Using Text Banks (Templates)
Pay particular attention to the small file folder icons (buttons) in the sections of the IEP, Notice of Evaluation, and Evaluation Summary Report (ESR). Many offer valuable and often REQUIRED information that needs to be chosen to accurately complete the document. By clicking on the file folder button, choices are presented for use in the document.

By clicking on the folder icon, a text window appears, that displays the banks available for the section of the document you are working on. You are able to view the list by "mousing over" the title in the Bank window. If you click on the title, the text will be entered into the section of the document.  The template must be edited to meet the individual student needs and will not save without making edits.

FORMS CONTAINING TEMPLATE BANKS INCLUDE:

NOTICE OF EVALUATION/REEVALUATON
Tests and procedures for every assessment domain provide scripted statements.

EVALUATION SUMMARY REPORT has several areas containing text banks:
a. Background Information - templates will be added as needed
b. Each area of assessment has templates (ie Woodcock-Johnson, SIB, etc) that allow you to enter data and text about the assessment that has been given.
c. Interpretation and Summary of Results - REQUIRED; by clicking on this button, a list of disability templates is visible. Every Evaluation Summary Report must have at least one of these templates INSERTED AND EDITED FOR THE STUDENT, before the evaluation can be considered complete.

IEP BUTTONS
Click on each of the button to insert starter language into IEP areas.

a. Progress Reporting

b. Least Restrictive Environment.  Statements providing correct language for various federal settings are provided.

c. GOAL AND OBJECTIVE BANK
The goal bank has been revised.  By using the Goal Bank, it will help assure compliance to state requirements.  The bank is not required.  There are many goals and objectives that are useful, but staff can type their own rather than using the bank.  If you have goals that you feel could be used by others and would like added to the bank, email them to a special education administrator for compliance and they can be added. 

d. Adaptations in General and Special Education; click to insert adaptation lists for classroom, instruction, materials, transportation, Personal Care and Services, etc.

e. MCA button enters allowable test accommodations & exemption (alternate assessment)
f. MN Basic Standards button enters allowable test accommodations/modifications & exemptions
g. Districtwide Initiated Assessment button enters allowable test accommodations/modifications & exemptions.

h. Extended School Year- contains the worksheet to document need for ESY.  This form is required for any student needed extended year services during the summer and regular school year.

i. Altered School Day - A statement provides language to change the length of the student day.

PROGRESS REPORTS
Progress reports will import goals and objectives into a progress report document.

Special education staff are required to report progress on goals at least as often as general education, which means that often we need to do it 4, 6 or even 8 times a year.  The IEP gives an opportunity to say how progress will be reported, which may be by phone, conference, email, but at least one MUST be WRITTEN.  Campus supplies us with a method of reporting progress that works quite simple once you have used it. 

DIRECTIONS:
Choose "Progress Report" from the list in "Create New Form".  Choose the IEP you wish to report on, by clicking the most recent IEP (the date can be left blank if the report is going to be made into multiple copies to use throughout the year).  SAVE.  If 6 reports are to be done yearly, make copies and change the date as they are completed.  Attach a copy to the IEP.

Click on “Goal/Objective Assessment and then “New Goal/Objective Assessment

The first item you will see is just the goals.  Select the top goal, click “Insufficient Progress”, “Adequate Progress”, or “Goal Met”.  Add comment.

DO NOT REVIEW THE OBJECTIVES.  IT IS NOT REQUIRED.

Click “Save” and then click again, “New Goal/Objective Assessment”.  Click the second goal and the progress being made.

Go on to subsequent goals.  Add COMMENTS as you feel necessary.  Then “Print” as needed by clicking the Campus Print button.  Your form will appear as a PDF document.

For the next IEP Progress Report:
1. return to existing document and edit/Print;
2. Create a new report.

ALWAYS retain a copy attached to the IEP.
