The IDM process begins with all students having access to a guaranteed and viable curriculum provided by the school through the core instructional program. Assessment data are gathered on a regular basis and each student’s response to instruction is evaluated. Students with additional instructional needs are provided supplemental and core instruction. Those students with significant needs are provided intensive instruction in addition to core instruction. Performance is monitored and students flow from one cycle of instruction to another as indicated by the data. In this system, all students receive instruction to address their unique learning needs.

Implementation Tools

The LEA Review form is intended to help both AEA and LEA personnel determine which IDM components are present within an individual school. A trained AEA person should guide the completion of this form to help clarify issues and help answer questions. The team will use the gathered information to determine the necessary next steps or action plan.
