What is one key component that should be included in the content of an IEP?

General school policies
Standardized state education guidelines
Current levels of performance
Teacher preferences

The correct answer is: Current levels of performance

Including current levels of performance in an Individualized Education Program (IEP) is crucial because it provides a clear baseline of the student’s abilities and challenges. This information allows for the development of specific, measurable goals tailored to the student’s unique needs. Current levels of performance inform educators and parents about how the student is functioning academically, socially, and behaviorally at the time the IEP is developed. By understanding where the student currently stands, educators can design effective interventions and accommodations that will enable the student to make meaningful progress. This key component ensures that the IEP is personalized and focused on the student's actual skills and areas for improvement, making it a critical part of the IEP process.
