It is an Individualized Education Plan. It means you need a little more help in one or more subjects and the IEP sets forth what the school, your parents, you and any other professional involved in your education (counselors, etc.) will be doing to help you succeed in school. Lots of kids have some form of IEP. The school must give you the help you need and the IEP explains what everyone's role will be. There was probably a meeting that your parents went to (you should have to, depending on your age), where these goals were discussed and agreed upon.

'Resource' generally means special education. That being said, you would have to have an IEP to be placed there. You do not give your age, so I would ask your parents if they have participated in an IEP meeting and to have them walk you through an IEP if there is one. If you are in high school, you should be invited to your IEP meetings and should be helping the special education teacher complete a transition plan. This helps you make the switch from school to college/trade program/job. If you do not have an IEP and are in resource ( the teacher would be able to tell you if the class is resource), then legally you cannot be in that class. If you are in resource placements and have an IEP, you should still be taking general education classes for all areas in which you don't struggle or have difficulties. Many students only have resource classes for English or for math. Many schools do not offer resource classes for other subjects. Once you are doing well in math and science, you may be able to take those classes in the general ed setting with accommodations. The purpose of resource, and other special ed placements, is to give you the knowledge you need to help you return to the regular education classroom. Being there does not mean that you are not smart, just that you learn differently. This is not uncommon and is nothing to feel bad about. Others here have listed famous individuals who have had disabilities. Many people theorize that Albert Einstein had a form of high functioning autism.

IEP stands for "Individual Education Program". This was a plan put together for you at a meeting. Your parents should have been at this meeting along with your school principal, teachers, -- and a whole team of people who work for the school who are there to give you help. They come up with a plan of what services --in other words the kind of extra help you might need. They make goals for you for the school year and this plan is followed by all of your teachers. A new one is made for you each year, and the same team will help decide what you need for the following school year.
Good luck in school and I hope you meet with much success.

IEP stands for Individual Educational Plan.
This is the plan that is used to help each student work on what they are good at and where they need work.
This plan sets up goals for the student to achieve over the school year.
As an example, my son cannot read well and remember what he read. So his IEP set a goal for him to practice reading better and being able to talk about what he read.
Hope this helps.

Individualized Education Plan-all it means is that you are going to, or are getting extra help that you need. The packet is for your parents. It's a copy of the IEP for them to keep. They had a meeting to discuss what services you need. The goals are what the school is helping you accomplish.

An IEP is a form for an Individual Educational Program. It is essentially to figure out what the school can do to help you learn better such as longer time for test taking, a seat at the front of the class, special instruction, or whatever is needed. The IEP is supposed to allow the least amount of intervention needed to let you learn at the same pace as the rest of your class.

Individual Educational Plan...you will have one of these if you were just diagnosed with a learning disability. You will be able to speak with teachers and have special areas for tests and things like that. I had one throughout my educational experience. I really didn't think it helped at all. The IEP goes along with the Section 504, that's another plan that helps people with learning disabilities. Look it up in your state's legal codes. If you need any other help please feel free to contact me.

Its an "Individual Education Plan" and it's an individualized plan that is put together for students with disabilities. The IEP also specifies that a student is to receive what are called "reasonable acccomodations" so that the student can learn and do well in school even though that student has a disability.
Since I don't know the details of your situation, you should ask your parent(s) to explain the details to you.

IEP stands for Individualized Education Program. It means that you might have a different way of learning things. Because you have an IEP, you must be getting extra help from a teacher for something like speech, language, reading, math, etc.
