216. Writing IEP Goals: 5 Things You Need to Ask
Manage episode 418210019 series 3228277
There are many things that we need to think about when writing IEP goals. We need to look at the present level of performance, curriculum goals, and parent input. However, there are other things we should consider when we write IEP goals, regardless of when we write them during the school year.
When considering what a student’s goals should be, there are questions we should be asking. There, of course, are the standard questions - Is your goal measurable? Is it clear? And is it related to the present level of performance? But there are 5 additional questions I think are key to writing better goals for your students. In this episode, I am diving into what these 5 questions are and how asking them before writing a goal will make your life easier throughout the year.
03:10 - Why it’s important to ask if a goal has been written before
05:42 - What an enabling goal is
07:05 - The importance of looking at what skills a student will need in their next environment
08:45 - Why you should be considering how you will teach the skill
12:45 - How to write goals that allow you to accurately track and measure them
