Which elements are included in an IEP?

• A. Modifications, accommodations, goals, instruction, and services
• B. Teacher salaries and benefits
• C. Attendance record and lunch options
• D. Bus routes only

Answer: (A)

An IEP outlines how a student with a disability will access the curriculum and make progress. The key elements are modifications and accommodations to the instructional materials and environment, the measurable goals the student is aiming to achieve, the specific instruction the student will receive, and the services provided to support learning (such as related services or supports). This combination captures what changes in teaching, what outcomes are expected, how progress will be taught and measured, and what supports will be supplied. Items like teacher salaries, attendance records, lunch options, or bus routes are outside the student’s educational plan, since they pertain to school operations rather than the individualized educational program and supports designed for the student.
