What role may an instructional technology coordinator play regarding Individual Education Programs (IEPs)?

An instructional technology coordinator plays a vital role in developing programs that support technology use for students with disabilities, which aligns closely with the requirements of Individual Education Programs (IEPs). IEPs are designed to meet the unique needs of students with disabilities and outline the specific accommodations, modifications, and services that students require to access the curriculum effectively.

By developing programs that integrate technology, the coordinator can facilitate personalized learning experiences that enhance educational opportunities for these students. This may include selecting assistive technologies that support communication, providing training for staff on best practices for inclusion, and helping to ensure that all technological resources are accessible. By focusing on these areas, the instructional technology coordinator contributes to the overall success of students with disabilities in achieving their educational goals as defined in their IEPs.

In contrast, determining student grades, administering standardized tests, and implementing afterschool programs are not directly related to the specific responsibilities associated with IEPs or ensuring that students with disabilities receive the necessary technological support in their educational programs.
