What aspect is NOT part of IDEA?

High standards for education are indeed a critical aspect of education policy, but they are not specifically a focus of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). IDEA primarily aims to ensure that students with disabilities receive Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) tailored to their individual needs.

The act emphasizes inclusive practices within educational settings and provides guidelines for creating Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) that address the specific educational requirements of students with disabilities. Access to the same standards, inclusion in general education, and measurable transition goals are aligned with IDEA’s core mission, which highlights ensuring access, participation, and successful transitions for students with disabilities in the educational system. Thus, while high educational standards are important in the broader context of education, they are not a specific element outlined within the framework of IDEA.
