Dee Gethman,is working with Kirby Leland and Michelle Tressel in order to program the Web IEP and IMS to be ready to launch the new EC Setting Codes on December 1, 2010.
Kirby has programmed the Web IEP EC Setting Code worksheet to ask:
Does this child attend a Regular Early Childhood Program, includes kindergarten?
Note: A Regular EC Program is defined as a program, including kindergarten, with at least 50% peers NOT on an IEP.
If yes, then they complete the answer to the following question:
How many MINUTES PER WEEK does the child attend a Regular Early Childhood Program? (cannot exceed 2,400 minutes per week; 480 minutes per day).
The rest of the calculations will be done within the formulas and the information completed on Page F regarding “Minutes in Settings.”
Thus, the IEP Teams will only need to complete the following steps:
1. Answer the question about attending a Regular EC Program; and
2. Determine how many minutes per week a child attends a Regular EC program.
If a child does NOT attend a Regular EC Program, the IEP Team will complete the information similar to the previous worksheet, regarding where the child receives special education:
· Special ed class
· Special school
· Residential facility.
If none of these:
· Home or
· Service Provider location or some other location.
Dee is planning to send a powerpoint describing the new codes and changes. I will send the information out as soon as it arrives. We can further discuss the changes at our dpeartment meeting on Dec. 16.
