IEP - INDIVIDUAL EDUCATIONAL PLAN

In order to systematically monitor the students, the staff discusses every child individually and the group as a whole on a regular basis.

For every student an Individual Educational Plan (IEP) is designed, based on specific educational and didactic needs.

During their time at Lighthouse, the children are followed with the use of a monitoring system (P-scales) designed to track their development and progress in the areas of learning and social emotional development. In addition the teacher regularly notes what subject matter the student has been offered and has mastered.

Several times a year the IEP is reviewed and adjusted if necessary. In this way we monitor the performance with the individual “learning line” of the child. The information will be saved in an individual educational portfolio.

At the end of the school year, each child receives a written report.

In addition to the educational portfolio there is a general confidential file. In this file all information about the child is kept, as far as it is relevant to the education of and the assistance to the child.

This means that the file may contain reports of admission inquiries, reports from former schools and from external therapists. Also reports of discussions, of interviews with the parents and of treatments will be kept in this file.

This file is accessible only to professionals who are directly involved with the education and care of the student. Under the Dutch Law of Privacy, access to this information is restricted and professional secrecy is guaranteed.
