Draft Part E: The Individual Education Plan (IEP) Current Level of Achievement – Students with Alternative Programs
A student’s current level of achievement in an alternative program or course should be indicated in a description taken from the student’s latest report card (either a Provincial Report Card or the alternative report
that may have been used). A letter grade or percentage mark is neither necessary nor advisable.

• “In personal care, [the student] is able to locate his lunch in the classroom cupboard.”

• “In mathematics, [the student], with support, demonstrates some money, measurement, and calculation skills.”
