Mock Individualized Education Plan

Nitone Davidson is a twelve year-old 7th grade student with a learning disability in reading and Attention-Deficit/hyperactivity Disorder. He is 5ft tall and 90lbs with short dirty blond hair. He reads at a fourth grade level and has an IQ of 110. Nitone is able to clearly communicate his thoughts verbally when he remembers to take his Ritalin. However, he struggles with attention, behavior, and learning when he forgets. Nitone has a difficult time with lectures, homework, and essay exams. He has an IEP accomodation of 1.5 time for all homework assignments and tests. His IEP goal that you will focus on is developng centers on his written expression: Nitone will be able to expand comprehension by analyzing, interpreting, and synthesizing from literary and informational text (GLE 2.2.3).

This would be the mock child that my group and I are going to be evaluated on for our midterm. We are creating an IEP for the student, and then presenting it to parents. The meeting with the parents is what we are getting graded on. Before the meeting we must know anything and everything about the learning disorder: reading and writing, as well as, ADHD. The parents will have fair game with any questions in which they can ask us. Also, my team consists of a history/ social studies and agricultural teacher. Each of us need to bring mock assignments to show how the student is performing in our class, a plan for improvement, etc... it will be fun. The hardest part thus far is creating mock assignments, trying to create how a student would asnwer them.
