A Four-Step Method for Developing Measurable, Meaningful, and Legally Sound IEP Goals
Join us for the first quarterly IEP webinar of 2024! Want to write IEP goals that are laser-focused on student progress? During this webinar you will learn a four-step method for developing measurable, meaningful, and legally sound IEP goals that will help your students reach their full potential.
The purposes of this webinar are to:
- Teach a process for developing annual goals during an IEP meeting.
- Present a simple four-step method for ensuring that goals are actually measurable.
- Discuss the importance of graphically monitoring student progress toward the goals.
There is history behind this method - In 2017, the U.S. Supreme Court in Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District ruled that "to meet its substantive obligations under the IDEA, a school must offer an IEP reasonably calculated to enable a child to make progress appropriate in light of the child's circumstances" (Endrew, 2017, p. 999). It is impossible to show (a) that a student's IEP was written to indicate progress, (b) that an IEP team had a method to determine when changes should be made to a student's IEP, or (c) that a student's goals actually resulted in student progress, without writing measurable annual goals and then measuring them.
