Strategic AI Integration to Improve IEP Quality: Early-Stage Modeling from a Systems Perspective

This session explores how early-stage modeling and generative AI are being used to strengthen the development of high-quality IEPs. Presenters will share practical strategies and lessons learned from a state-level initiative focused on improving procedural and substantive compliance while reducing educator burden.Participants will be able to: 1. Describe a strategic approach to AI integration that improves the quality of IEPs while maintaining educator expertise. 2. Identify practical applications of generative AI that support procedural and substantive compliance in the IEP development process. 3. Apply early-stage modeling strategies, including workflow mapping and use case design, to support system improvement at the local or state level.
