Present Levels of Educational Performance

The Present Level of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance (PLAAFP) section of an Individualized Education Plan should drive all subsequent content of the IEP, including goals and services. Formal assessment data and information gathered via parent/teacher interviews are primary sources of information to create a PLAAFP. It is important that teachers be able to analyze and summarize such data and information to collaborate with IEP team members when developing a PLAAFP. Review “RTI Case Study: Laney.” Based on the information provided, begin the process of drafting a 250-500 word summary of Laney’s current educational performance that could later be incorporated into the PLAAFP section of an IEP. Your summary should include the following student information: Academic strengths Results from evaluations Performance in classes Influences of language, culture, and family background Strengths, preferences, and interests in non-academic areas Any other relevant issues Any additional information that should be collected *******In an additional 150-250 words reflect upon why it is important to know the potential effect of differences in values, languages, and customs that can exist between the home and school. Support your reflection with 1-2 scholarly resources.
