Monitoring IEP Implementation During Home Instruction

A Research-Informed Practical Guide for Parents

When students receive school-directed instruction at home, parents need a practical way to determine whether the services, accommodations, and progress monitoring in the IEP are actually being provided.

This parent-friendly guide explains what to monitor, how to keep a simple weekly record, which questions to ask the school team, and when an IEP or PPT review may be needed. It also includes a sample message to the case manager and an editable weekly implementation record.

The guide is intended for families whose children receive district-directed home instruction, homebound instruction, virtual instruction, or another school-arranged program outside the school building. Independent homeschooling may involve different requirements.
