Present+Levels

Stop copying and pasting evaluation results from the report into the present levels. In addition, do not copy a previous IEP to write the new IEP either. From one year to the next, there should be enough changes in a student’s present levels of performance, goals, and services that a new IEP should be written each year.

Do not list any testing results in the PLOP. Using a bulleted list of Strengths and Areas of Need is best. You DO NOT need to address every area of need in one IEP - address some and the next can be addressed in the next IEP.
