What is the Difference Between a PPT and 504 Meeting?

A breakdown of two types of school meetings that can significantly impact their school success.

What is the difference be†ween an IEP and 504 plan?

An Individualized Education Program ( IEP ) is a written statement of how a child who qualifies for special education services is going to be supported by their educational program. It is designed to meet a child's individual needs and is broken down into various goals and objectives.A child must meet narrow and specific criteria to qualify for an IEP.

A 504 plan is similar to an IEP as it also aims to assist a child with a disability however it is implemented and monitored by classroom teachers and only requires modification to a child's existing curriculum and often does not require differential special services. A broader range of disorders are used to qualify for a 504 where an IEP has a narrower range of disorders.

Why Do We Request IEPs and 504s?

You are concerned the child has a disability that is impacting their education and may require special assistance and accommodations to aid them.

Who Requests Them

They can be requested by anyone who works with the child. This includes a parent, teacher, mentor, coach, doctor, or therapist. Parents are allowed to invite whomever they feel would be helpful during the meeting.

The first step to requesting a PPT meeting would be to submit the request in writing to the principal or school psychologist. The principal is responsible for authorizing the referral. Once this is requested in writing the school is legally obligated to hold a meeting. There is no specific time frame for when the meeting has to be held if it is a review meeting or revised meeting it is only required to be "within a reasonable amount of time". If this is a request for a first time meeting called an initial referral to special education then the school has a 45 school day timeline from the time of request to hold the eligibility meeting, complete the testing, and determine eligibility and then implement the IEP or 504 if qualified.

The Initial Eligibility Meeting

Its important that parents are active participants and can be their own advocates. It is important that parents have come prepared with testing you would like to review and make sure that you have advocated for any special requests and ideas you have to the school beforehand. This gives the school time to be prepared to accommodate these requests and ensures they are prepared to discuss the ability to respond to these requests. Make sure that you have been in communication with teachers, doctors and therapists prior to the meeting so that you as the parent are fully aware of the exact issues. The meeting should actually not be focused on just the problems the child is having. Rather the meeting should focus on the solutions to those problems and how the child can best be supported. The meetings can be overwhelming for any parent therefore preparedness in these areas can greatly improve the effectiveness of this meeting.

If after this meeting it is determined by the school that your child does not need testing, there may be a second meeting set up to explore the possibility of creating a 504 plan for your child.

Eligibility Testing

The parent has a right to request an evaluation by the school. This can be determined before hand by the electability meeting or a parent can request it themselves. An evaluation is psychoeducational testing administered by a combination of a school psychologist, school social worker, special education teacher, speech and language pathologist, or occupational therapist. This could take anywhere from 1.5 hours to multiple school days over a period of weeks. It is important to know that this is done during school hours and your child will be missing classroom time for this testing. The length of time for testing is dependent on the child, their ability to focus, and other factors. This testing addresses issues related to intellectual ability, social emotional functioning, academic functioning, speech and language skills, fine motor skills, gross motor skills and more.

After Testing

After the testing is completed the school should be sending home the results of the test within 5 days (if requested by the parent). Parents should also request a time for the evaluator(s) to go over the testing. This discussion is an important step as the testing results can be confusing. This will greatly assist you as the parent in understanding what the testing means. Also if you go into the eligibility meeting with the testing results already understood, this will give you more time in the meeting to focus on solutions to the testing. If the parent disagrees with the results of the testing the parent has a right to request testing by an independent evaluator. The school however may not be required to pay for this testing and it can be expensive.

Second PPT Meeting

If you child is qualified you may have a second meeting called an eligibility meeting.

Qualified means that the child meets criteria for special education services per the results of the testing. There are certain categories in which a child could fall under in order to qualify. This is when the team determines if the child qualifies for special education. If your child is qualified the team will discuss the services that the child may benefit from in their IEP and will develop specific goals and objectives with any accommodations needed to assist in the child's education.

What If My Child Does Not Qualify

Parents have the right to an Independent Educational Evaluation know as an IEE. The school can offer to provide the IEE at their own costs unless the school believes that a due process meeting (court hearing) is necessary. This would be a case where the school would stand by their evaluation. A hearing officer would review the school's evaluation. If they decide the schools testing was inadequate they would have the school pay for this evaluation. If not the parents would be responsible for paying for the IEE.

Additional Meetings

Once an IEP has been put in place it will be implemented in 10 days ofter the second PPT meeting. After the child is qualified the child would have an annual review PPT meeting. This meeting would be held a year from the initial eligibility meeting. Every 3 years the child will be reevaluated for additional eligibility for special education services.

PPT Special Education

Are you looking for a way to ensure your child with special needs is receiving the best education possible? PPT meaning in education? Planning and Placement Team. The PPT Special Education is a team of professionals who collaborate to create an individualized education program, or IEP, for each student with special needs.

You will have the chance to offer advice on your child’s particular needs, development, and objectives because you are an essential member of the PPT. You will collaborate with  special education teachers , service providers in related fields, and officials at the school to ensure that your child receives the assistance they require to succeed in the classroom and beyond.

This blog will teach you about the PPT process and what to anticipate in meetings. Additionally, you’ll discover how to speak out for your child’s needs and the various services and adjustments that could be provided to them as part of their IEP. With PPT, your child’s potential won’t be constrained, and you can rest easy knowing that their special education needs will be satisfied using strategies like  differentiated instruction .

What Is PPT Special Education?

PPT means in special education: the Planning and Placement Team, a group of specialists who meet frequently to create, evaluate, and update the  Individualized Education Plans (IEPs)  for each student with special needs.

The student’s parents or legal guardians, general education and special education teachers, relevant service providers, the school administrator, and other staff members, as necessary, make up the team. The objective of this team is to identify the child’s special requirements, create a plan to address those needs and ensure the child receives the services.

The PPT, often called an IEP team, is in charge of evaluating students’ progress once a year. They examine and analyze the student’s progress toward their objectives, determine their current needs, and, if necessary, make any modifications to their IEP, adhering to best practices advised by  Council for Exceptional Children .

The PPT process is crucial for students with special needs because it ensures that the right supports and services are in place to help them achieve academically and socially. 

What Is the PPT Process?

To create and carry out an individualized education program (IEP) for students with exceptional needs, the PPT (Planning and Placement Team) method is used. The process is set up to ensure that every special needs student gets the right kind of assistance and resources to fulfill their particular requirements and promote their success in the classroom and social lives.

The PPT process includes several steps:

• Evaluation : The evaluation of the student is the first step in identifying their particular needs. Assessments in various areas, including academic performance, behavior, and social-emotional growth, may be part of this review.
• Identification : The PPT team will determine if the student qualifies for special education services based on the evaluation results.
• Planning : The PPT team will create an IEP, defining the student’s needs, goals, and the services that will be provided to meet those needs once it has been determined that the student requires special education services.
• Placement : The PPT team will decide which environment—a general education classroom, a resource room, or a special education classroom—is best for the student.
• Implementation : Following the IEP’s implementation, the student’s development is tracked and reported. Regular meetings of the PPT team will be held to review and revise the student’s IEP as necessary.
• Review : Each year, or more frequently if necessary, the PPT team will assess the student’s IEP to ensure their needs are being addressed and make any necessary adjustments.

It is important to remember that the PPT procedure involves cooperation between the student’s parents or guardians, general education teachers, special education teachers, providers of associated services, school administrators, and other employees as necessary. Its goal is to guarantee that students with special needs receive the greatest and most effective education possible so they can succeed.

Special education is instruction that is specially designed to meet the unique needs of children who have disabilities. Special education and related services are provided in public schools at no cost to the parents and can include special instruction in the classroom, at home, in hospitals or institutions, or in other settings. This definition of special education comes from IDEA, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. This law gives eligible children with disabilities the right to receive special services and assistance in school. Almost 7 million children ages 3 through 21 receive special education and related services each year in the United States. This lecture focuses on an overview of terms and concepts of importance in special education.

Areas covered include:

• definition of special education
• exceptionality
• disability classifications
• gender issues in special education
• internalizing and externalizing behaviors
• using correct language
• accommodations and modifications
• expectations for special educators
• universal design for learning
• the difference between a disability and a handicap.

Teacher pay: everything you need to know about the 2024 pay award

The Education Secretary has accepted the recommendations of the School Teachers’ Review Body (STRB) and confirmed the teacher pay award for 2024-25, setting out what school teachers in England can expect to be paid next academic year.

The STRB is an independent group that makes recommendations on the pay of teachers in maintained schools in England and reports to the Secretary of State for Education and the Prime Minister.

Each year the STRB recommends a pay award based on different factors including the economy, school workforce data and evidence from organisations including the DfE, and the teaching unions.

The government then considers the recommendations in depth and makes a decision on what pay award teachers receive for the coming year.

Here’s everything you need to know about teacher pay.

Are teachers getting a pay rise this year?

The STRB recommended a pay award of 5.5% and this has been accepted in full by the Education Secretary, reflecting the vital contribution teachers make to children’s life chances.

The 5.5% award would see pay packets increase by over £2,500 for the average classroom teacher, which would take the median salary for 2024/25 to over £49,000 a year.

Will teachers at all schools receive the pay award?

The pay award applies to maintained schools, with academies continuing to have freedom over their pay and conditions.

However, in practice most academies follow the recommendations of the STRB.

Is the pay award fully funded?

Yes. Schools will receive £1.1 billion in additional funding to cover their overall costs in financial year 2024-25, including fully funding the pay award for teachers at a national level.

This matches what we have calculated is needed to fully fund the teacher pay award and the support staff pay offer, at the national level, on top of the available headroom in schools’ existing budgets.

We are also providing an additional £97 million for schools delivering post-16 education (£63 million) and early years (£34 million) provision.

Taken together, this is an increase of almost £1.2 billion.

The pay award impacts both financial years 2024-25 and 2025-26. This additional funding only covers the financial year 2024-25 portion of the award. We will take into account the impact of the full year's costs of the teacher pay award on schools when considering 2025-26 budgets, which are yet to be agreed.

When will teachers receive their pay rise?

Teachers will start receiving their new salary in the autumn, after a new pay order is laid in Parliament and comes into force.

Pay will be backdated to 1 September 2024.

Will school support staff get a pay rise?

The teacher pay award only applies to school teachers, but the additional funding schools will receive also ensures schools are, at a national level, covered for the current 2024-25 pay offer for support staff, which is currently under negotiation.

Unlike teachers, most school support staff are currently employed on the pay and conditions of the National Joint Council (NJC) for Local Government Services. The NJC is a negotiating body made up of representatives from trade unions and local government employers.

We are committed to reinstating the School Support Staff Negotiating Body to give support staff like teaching assistants, caretakers and cleaners a stronger voice in government. The body will be tasked with establishing a national terms and conditions handbook, training, career progression routes, and fair pay rates for support staff.

What else are you doing to ensure teaching is an attractive profession?

Alongside the pay award, we have also announced that from September, schools will no longer be required to use the Performance Related Pay (PRP) system, which can lead to schools and teachers going through an overly bureaucratic process to agree individual teachers’ pay rises. This will help improve teacher workload.

We will also clarify that teachers can carry out their planning time at home, improving flexible working for staff.
