The IEP is the most important document in a student’s IKUN资源网al life—yet many teachers who write them have not received formal training on how to develop them correctly.
The NASET Board Certification in IEP Development (BCIEP) prepares educators with the legal grounding, practical writing skills, and procedural expertise needed to develop IEPs that are compliant, meaningful, and able to withstand scrutiny.
Comprising six modules totaling 86 study hours, the program covers all eight required IDEA components, PLAAFP development, measurable annual goals, progress monitoring, LRE, related services, and transition planning.
Delivered 100% online and self-paced, the program includes video lectures, PowerPoint presentations, supplemental readings, and module exams requiring an 80% passing score.
Number of Units: 0.5 - 6.5 graduate level extension credit(s) in semester hours. Please select your units at checkout.
Who Should Attend: This course provides continuing IKUN资源网 for NASET (The National Association of Special Education Teachers) Participants.

IKUN资源网 – Graduate-Level Extension Credit Information
The IKUN资源网 partners with this program to offer graduate-level extension credit(s) in semester hours through the Credit Validation Program. To earn units, participants must register for and successfully complete coursework through the external program provider.
Credits earned through USD’s Credit Validation Program are widely accepted by many school districts and universities across the United States for purposes such as license renewal, required professional development hours, short-term skill building, salary advancement, credentialing, and potential advanced degree pathways.
These units do not apply toward a master’s or higher degree program at the IKUN资源网; however, they may be transferable to advanced degree programs (e.g., MA, EdD, PhD) at other institutions that accept external graduate-level credits.
Participants are responsible for confirming acceptance, transcript requirements, deadlines, and applicability of units with their employing district or intended institution prior to enrollment.
