The IEP Quality (IEPQ) website is designed as on-demand information to assist IEP teams in writing high quality standards-referenced IEPs that are individualized, usable, and directly relate to student needs and instruction. The IEPQ website is intended to provide best practice guidance and examples; it is not a “How-To Manual” for filling out the Illinois IEP or legal advice.
Downloadable resources for use when planning for or implementing an IEP, such as Present Levels and Goals checklists and an Accommodations Monitoring Form.
Best practice information, guidance, FAQs, and examples for every section of the Illinois IEP form.
Descriptions of and sample IEPs for fictitious students spanning different grade levels and disability areas.
Gathers information and links to resources related to IEP development information, such as data collection forms, ISBE information and webpages, and sample IEP goals and objectives.
IEPQ is currently a free resource. Anyone involved in writing IEPs and currently employed in K-12 public school in Illinois or an ISBE-approved private school may register for an account by going to https://iepq.education.illinois.edu/user/register-illinois
The IEP Quality Project began as a research grant at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, funded by the U.S. Dept. of Education, Institute of Education Sciences (No. R324J060002) and continues to be funded through support from the Illinois State Board of Education.
