Assessment Description Special educators must be proficient at more than simply teaching, planning, and addressing student concerns. A large portion of the special educator’s career will be spent creating, implementing, and reviewing IEPs in meetings with parents/guardians and other professionals. Most educators find that the present level of academic and functional performance (PLAAFP) is the most essential part of the IEP because it paints a picture of the student and guides the goals, services, accommodations, and modifications that should be included in the IEP. Once a solid PLAAFP is written, then appropriate, measurable, observable goals can be formulated for the student. Review the “Ana Case Study” and use the information provided to write a 250-500 word PLAAFP summary for Ana. Your PLAAFP should include: Consider the information from the “Ana Case Study” and write two measurable academic goals and two measurable behavioral goals for Ana. Each goal should include: Provide a 500-750 word rationale that addresses the following: Submit the PLAAFP, annual goals, and rationale as a single Word document. While APA format is not required for the body of the assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
