Recap: Practicing Without A License

Recap: Present Levels
Just Can’t Say It Enough! ALL other items and services listed in the IEP
must link to this section and descriptions here will support ALL remaining sections of the IEP– Global Statement and Present Levels
Recap: Measurable Goals
What we know from the Spring 2011 ESE Audit
Some annual goals were not measurable. Some annual goals were not directly related
to weaknesses noted in the PLAAFP. Some annual goals were not individualized
for the student. The same goals were seen on multiple IEPs.
Three required components of a Measurable Annual Goal
Target Behavior – What we want to change.(Described in terms that are observable, measurable, verifiable, and repeatable)
Stimulus material or condition – How we will measure change. (The materials that the teacher will use or the environment where the behavior will be observed)
Criterion for acceptable performance - How we will know if the goal has been achieved (Stated in terms of accuracy, speed, or quality)
May also include Timeframe (1 year is maximum length)
Annual Goal Checklist
Are goals linked to the assessment and the PLAAFP statements?
Are goals specific clear, and measurable? Do goals provide a focus for the student’s IEP? Does the goal section of the IEP contain information on how
the student’s progress will be measured? Does the IEP include how progress will be communicated to
the parent? Can the goal be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the
program? Is the student’s progress toward achieving the goals actually
measured?
Also in Ch. 5: Special Ed. and Related Services
All services and supports to enable the child– To advance appropriately toward attaining the
annual goals– To be involved in and make progress in the
general ed. curriculum– To participate in extracurricu.ar and other

peers to the maximum extend appropriate
