Personalized Education Plans
2
What is a PEP?

• The purpose for these plans are to address the
  individual needs of the students by identifying
  their area(s) of deficiency and strategies that
  teachers, parents and students can try in order
  to improve the success of the particular student.

Who qualifies to have a PEP?

• Students that scored a Level I or Level II on
  their End of Grade test(s) in Reading and/or Math
  in North Carolina.
• Students that receive a letter grade of D or F on
  their 1st quarter report cards in any core
  subject area.

Who implements the PEP?

• Personalized Education Plans should be developed
  with a team of individuals, who can provide
  insight into the student academically, socially,
  and/or behaviorally.
• Team teachers, counselor, parent, administrator

What does a PEP contain?

• According to the North Carolina Department of
  Public Instruction, the Personalized Education
  Plans must contain intervention strategies,
  monitoring strategies and process, along with
  specific diagnostic information.

What does a PEP contain locally?

  diagnostic reports from the GRADE diagnostic
  assessment for Reading. The strategies should be
  supplemental to and different from the
  instruction the student receives in the regular
  classroom environment.
