IEP Tips: Goals
When we’re looking at IEP goals, we don’t want just an emotional impression of what we think the IEP is supposed to guide. We need it to be crystal clear so that there is no confusion as to whether or not a child met that IEP goal.
Those goals need to leave no room for interpretation. If 2 different teachers both read that goal, will they use entirely different methods of measurement? If so, the results will likely be vastly different.
Unfortunately, many special education teachers are never taught how to write really good goals. They get barely any guidance at all and even the “goal banks” that the teachers use are full of poorly written goals.

Then go check your kid’s goals. Are they crystal clear to you? Do they need some explanation (and therefore a rewrite)?
Let me know!
