Managing Education Milestones

A 10th-grade sequence focused on empowering students to manage their own IEP/504 timelines, accommodations, and administrative responsibilities through the lens of project management. Students transition from passive recipients of services to active managers of their educational milestones.

Timeline Deconstruction

Students act as project managers to deconstruct the annual IEP/504 cycle, identifying critical deadlines and mapping out their own educational timelines.

Scheduling & Support Coordination

Students learn the art of coordinating conflicting schedules, focusing on the overlap between general education classes and mandated support services. They practice professional communication to resolve these conflicts.

Administrative Compliance

Students tackle the administrative side of education, from permission slips to agenda management. They develop a personal 'compliance system' to stay organized and responsible for their own paperwork.

Goal Monitoring & Data

Students take charge of their own progress by learning to track data against their IEP goals. They develop a 'Data Day' routine for self-reflection and objective performance monitoring.

Leading the Annual Review

In the capstone lesson, students synthesize their scheduling, organization, and data-tracking efforts to prepare a professional presentation for their next IEP meeting. They practice leading the conversation about their own future.
