Abstract
Individual Education Programs (IEPs) are the entry point to the design of teaching and learning for students with disabilities. This guidebook provides teachers with reflective questions, a sample response bank, strategies from the research-based Learner Variability Navigator, and other resources to write strength-based IEPs. Strength-based includes not only strengths in academic or content areas. It also includes strengths in the ability to collaborate, or found in unique backgrounds and languages, for example. The goal is to create a sense of belonging in classrooms so students with learning disabilities are understood and provided with the tools they need to meet their potential in school and beyond.
