Guidelines for Completion and Presentation of Individual Education Plans (IEP’s) and Case Management Plans (CMP’s) in British Columbia

In the realm of special education, the development and implementation of Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and Case Management Plans (CMPs) are crucial.

This blog delves into the guidelines provided by the Ministry of Education Office of the Inspector of Independent Schools in British Columbia.

It's a dynamic document, constantly evolving to meet the student's needs.

IEP Development Process
