IEP (Individualised Educational Programme)

A plan, usually written, which outlines the steps to be taken to help a pupil achieve specified curricular targets. It normally applies to pupils who are receiving some form of additional support for learning beyond the ordinary classroom experience. It contains succinct statements of educational aims, and a list of goals to be attained with indications of expected timescales, approaches to learning and teaching, arrangements for assessment and recording of attainment, staff involved, resources, learning contexts, and involvement of parents.
