In an IFSP, which activities should the teacher participate in?

• A. Develop instructional materials alone
• B. Observe progress without documentation
• C. Participate in meetings, interventions, and provide documentation
• D. Focus only on student assessment results

Answer: (C)

The key idea here is that an IFSP relies on collaborative service provision, with clear roles for teachers in planning, implementing, and documenting progress. The teacher should be actively involved in planning meetings with families and other professionals, carry out the interventions outlined in the plan for the child, and provide ongoing documentation of the child’s progress. This combination ensures that services are coordinated, family input is valued, and progress is tracked to adjust goals as needed.

Developing materials alone misses the collaborative planning and direct intervention component. Observing progress without documentation fails to show evidence of change and to inform future steps. Focusing only on assessment results ignores the ongoing delivery of services and the family’s involvement, which are essential parts of the IFSP process.
