How to Help Students with IEPs Thrive

The main goal of including students with IEPs in general education is to:

• Lower the class standards so that all students can achieve equally.

• Provide an opportunity for all students to learn and meet state-level expectations.

• Ensure standardized test scores are high.

• Provide individualized lessons completely separate from the general curriculum.

According to the article, the Common Core Standards are mainly:

• A rigid curriculum for all states.

• Guidelines for teaching methods.

• A set of learning expectations.

• Standards exclusive to general education students.

Excluding students with IEPs from the general education curriculum and assessment benchmarks may result in:

• Increased standardized test scores for the school.

• Higher individual achievement for students with IEPs.

• Lower expectations and fewer opportunities for these students to succeed.

• Fewer resources needed to support these students.
