Present Levels of Educational Performance

• In order to write clear and measurable goals
  you must first establish clear and measurable
  present levels of educational performance (PLEP).

Present Levels of Educational Performance should

• 1) Be data driven (measurable and observable)
• 2) Identify strengths and prioritize needs
• 3) Provide a starting point for development of
  goals
• 4) Guide development of other areas of the GIEP

10
Data Driven

• Current assessment information must be the
  foundation for writing PLEPs!
• Curriculum based assessment
• Evaluations
• Permanent products
• Teacher/parent/student input

  academic and nonacademic areas
