It's IEP Season: Bulletproof Your IEPs with Measurable Annual Goals!

Annual goals are the IEP team members’ best estimate of what a student will learn or be expected to do in the next school year to address the effects of their disability. Unfortunately, writing measurable annual goals has often been a difficult task for many IEP teams. When a student’s goals are not measurable, the IEP team cannot monitor their progress, which makes IEP goals meaningless. The result can be frustrating for parents/caregivers, administrators, and teachers, and may lead to state complaints, hearings, and litigation. The purpose of this seminar is to present a clear and simple three-step process to develop measurable annual IEP goals and discuss user-friendly ways to monitor a student’s progress toward achieving their academic and functional goals.
