Status Report: Managing Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) in Minnesota. Summer 2002.
Wallace, Teri; Batholomay, Tom; Hong, Saahoon
This report presents results of a survey of 1,275 Individualized Education Program (IEP) managers in Minnesota concerning IEP team collaboration and communication, technology use, IEP manager tasks, and effects of IEP software, both networked and non-networked versions. Survey data were divided into five comparative groups: no use of software to write IEPs; use of software to write IEPs; use of networked software to write IEPs; use of non-networked software; and all respondents combined. Results are presented in charts and tables as well as through brief descriptions of highlights. One finding was that 96% of respondents used some form of IEP software to write IEPs, although almost half (45%) felt the software was not well organized. Data are reported in the following sections: characteristics of IEP managers; computer use by IEP managers; IEP software use and support; perceptions on the impact of IEP software; accessing the IEP document; writing the IEP; team collaboration; communication among IEP team members; IEP managers and general education; differences between network and non-network IEP software users; and differences between IEP managers who received training and those who did not receive training in IEP software. The survey instrument is appended. (DB)
