IEP Teacher Input Form: General Education Academic & Behavior Feedback

Description

Preparing for an IEP meeting often means gathering information from teachers who see the student in different classes and settings. A general request for feedback may leave you with brief comments that do not explain where the student is successful or what support is needed. This IEP Teacher Input Form gives teachers a shared structure for describing classroom performance, academic skills, and supports that help the student participate and learn. See Preview

Gather Teacher Feedback Before the Meeting

Share the teacher input form for IEP planning with general education teachers, special education teachers, or specials teachers who work with the student. Each teacher can describe what they notice in their own setting. Collecting these perspectives ahead of time gives the team information to review and helps identify questions that need further discussion.

The form includes student and teacher information, a return date, and a classroom-skills questionnaire. Teachers rate the student’s performance compared with a typical grade-level peer using Poor, Below Average, Average, and Above Average options. Space for comments allows teachers to add context to the ratings.

Describe Classroom and Academic Performance

The classroom questionnaire covers areas such as attendance, understanding and following oral directions, communication, attention, independent classwork, organization, and participation. These ratings help organize teacher observations so the team can discuss both strengths and areas of concern. They also provide a starting point for asking what the student can do independently and where additional support may be needed.

The academic section includes ratings for reading, writing, and math. A separate table provides space for class or subject, grade, percentage, and number of missing assignments. Bringing these details together helps teachers describe the student’s classroom experience more clearly than a general statement that the student is doing well or struggling.

Identify Effective Supports and Questions for the Team

Written prompts ask teachers which accommodations or modifications work best, what additional information would help them support the student, and which skills or potential goals the team should discuss. These questions connect teacher feedback to practical planning. They also help identify supports that may be useful to share across classrooms.

Teacher input provides one perspective on student performance. Use the completed questionnaire alongside work samples, assessment results, progress-monitoring data, and student and family input when planning next steps. The form organizes observations and discussion points rather than determining eligibility, services, or goals by itself.
