The Individual Academic Plan (IAP) is designed to be a tool for the learning process at FCS.  The learning team consists of the teacher, the student, and the parents. Research, experience, and common sense says that in education, learning is enhanced when individual attention can be given. It is our goal in modeling and teaching that the IAP should address each of the areas of transition that a student encounters. (Home, employment, career advancement, community connections, post-secondary school education, instruction, etc.). 

In summary, the IAP should assess and address:

• the interests, needs, skills and capabilities of the student
• the dreams of the student for the future
• achievements made toward attainment of goals
• the identification of  resources required to insure appropriate learning experiences
• participation in the least restrictive environment with an eye on participation in the general education classroom whenever possible
• placement within environments that support and promote on-going personal growth and development
