    About the session

    This session is geared towards parents/caregivers of students who have Individual Education Plans. An Individual Education Plan (IEP) is a documented plan developed for either a student with a disability(-ies) or a neurodivergent student. It describes individualized goals, adaptations or modifications, and the universal and essential supports to be provided; it also includes measures for tracking progress.

    The session will address:

    • Why school districts across the province are switching to Competency Based IEPs.
    • What is the same and what is different from the current IEP to a Competency Based IEP.
    • The main components of the Competency Based IEP.

    Thanksgiving Day was first observed as an annual event on November 6, 1879, though Indigenous peoples have a history of celebrating the fall harvest that predates the arrival of European settlers. Since 1957, Thanksgiving is observed as an annual event on the second Monday of October. It is a statutory holiday in British Columbia.
