Pt 3 Getting Ready for an IEP Meeting- Goals and Testing Accommodations

Hello again!

Part 3 of the five part series is here!

The goals in an IEP are a critical part of the education of your child.  They are important for two key reasons:

• They set the course for instruction
• They hold everyone working with your child accountable

Consequently, goals in the IEP need to be specific and measurable.

They should also directly relate to any of the concerns and the Present Level of Academic and Functional Performance (PLAFF or PLOP) from the beginning of the IEP.

If it is not in the  PLAFF, it does not belong as a goal. 

There should be a flow to the document.  The goals and the accommodations (coming up in Pt 4) should be directly related to the needs spelled out in the present level of performance. 

Well, back to pt 3 of the resource guide.  This worksheet will get your thoughts flowing about ideas for goals and for any needs during state or district wide testing.  Hopefully, you see some ideas listed that apply to your child or you certainly have the space to add your own.

I love feedback, so if you would like to suggest ways to improve these worksheets, please share them through the comment section. 

Enjoy!
