Short Description

We conducted analyses of IEP students in 28 cyber schools to examine relationships between IEP students’ interactions with other students and their teachers and academic outcomes. We found that when IEP students spend more time in classes with other students and one on one meetings with their teachers, they earn more credits but not higher grades. Also, IEP students who complete more curriculum-based assessments with teachers generally have higher credits earned, test scores, and grades.
