A good IEP portfolio is the key to a good student-led IEP meeting. It gives students a script, a scaffold, and real data
they can present as an equal member of the team. Ms. Hawbaker's students use a Microsoft Word Form template to structure their
IEP portfolios. You are welcome to use this template as well. If you want to change something, you have to unlock the form
(View--toolbars--forms--then click on the padlock to unlock it).

The student-led IEP concept was pioneered by Marcy McGahee-Kovac, a special education teacher from Jeb Stuart High School
in Fairfax County, VA. Several of her publications are available free in PDF format online below.
