The EBR Process, Building Capacity for Your EBR Team
2024-09-16 08:30 - 15:00 (America/New_York)
The Educational Benefit Review (EBR) is provided to teams who are entering a cyclical monitoring year and to ensure that students with IEPs are receiving educational benefit. Teams will be provided with the legal background on EBR and participate in a four-step process to analyze and compare three years of IEPs to determine if a student has received educational benefit. Additionally, teams will have the opportunity to work on their 10 EBR student cases to identify/target specific areas related to their school-age grade bands, compliance requirements, pros, cons, and identify technical support or professional development needs to support their knowledge and expertise of educationally beneficial IEP composition.
This training will not only to fulfill requirements for cyclical monitoring, but encourage districts to consider integrating EBR as a best practice when composing IEPs annually. For this training, the EBR Facilitator (Special Education Administrator, Principal, LEA representative, or designee) will be asked to attend with their team. It is highly recommended that schools attend as a team. EBR Teams must be comprised of at least 1 Special Educator, at least 1 general educator, at least 1 Related Service Provider, and the EBR Facilitator.
TOOLS & MATERIALS NEEDED: Teams will be required to bring laptops, paper copies of three years of the selected student’s IEPs (current year and two years prior)
*Please be advised, if your district has been selected for 2024-2025 cyclical monitoring (CMCI), you may utilize this training date to work with your EBR teams to complete the 10 EBR students’ cases selected by your BSE advisor. Additionally, support can be provided by AIU TaC to facilitate this requirement. Additional times and dates can be arranged to provide optimum support to complete this requirement.
