Individual education programs — commonly called “IEPs” — are critical to ensuring that students with disabilities have access to a free and appropriate public education. Created with the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) Office of Special Education (OSE), this course explores the procedural and substantive aspects of writing IEPs that are both compliant with the law and meaningful to individual students with disabilities. You will learn the ins and outs of drafting an IEP, assembling an IEP team, and supporting students with a plan tailored to their individual needs.

In this course, you will:

  • Discover the importance of preparing a draft IEP without predetermining its outcome.
  • Identify the required participants on the IEP team and their roles.
  • Be aware of the required components for developing a transition plan and the relationships among them.
  • Overview state and districtwide assessments as they relate to students with IEPs.
  • Understand relevant terms, abbreviations, regulations, and special education services.

    Limited Course Capacity

    We’re sorry to inform you that we have reached capacity for several of our Semester 1 and Trimester 1 courses. You’ll notice when attempting to enroll students in our Student Learning Portal that some courses are unavailable. While we are no longer accepting new enrollments for these courses at this time, many courses continue to remain open for enrollment.

    With many students across the state 100% remote, demand for our online courses is greater than ever before. Because every course we offer is taught by a Michigan-certified teacher, this high volume of enrollments has created capacity issues for our teachers who provide each and every student with individual feedback.

    While the Michigan Virtual team anticipated and planned for significant increases in student enrollments this Fall, the increased demand we’ve experienced has been unprecedented. As a result, we are taking steps to hire even more part-and full-time teachers to support larger numbers of student enrollments for Semester 2 as well as for Trimester 2 and 3. 

    For schools that still need online learning options this year, please fill out the form at the bottom of our virtual pathways page to meet with someone to discuss other solutions. While some of our teacher-led courses are full, we may still have the capacity to help you in upcoming terms or can discuss timing to implement a whole-school or collaborative program in which local teachers from your school/district use our online course content to teach students. We also have free course content and resources available for you to use.

    We know this is an incredibly stressful time for all, and we’re sorry if the courses you’re looking for are unavailable. We never want to turn away a student who wants to learn from us. Our top concern, however, is student success, and we have a policy to not take on additional enrollments if we cannot guarantee that all students will have a quality online learning experience. 

    We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate the unusually high volume of enrollments we are receiving.
