Getting Present Levels on the IEP Right and How to Write IEP Goals to Ensure Functionality and Quality – Part 2
Part 2 will continue the work from session 1 by working through the Impact/Needs statement based on the PLAFFP. Next, participants will take a deep dive in goal writing. The concept of the golden thread will be extenuated through using “filters” to determine if a need/next step is IEP goal worthy. Participants will learn about foundational skill development in each domain and compare/contrast worthy functional goals versus goals written for general skill development.
Participants will be able to:
- Use data to measure present level of academic achievement and functional performance.
- Discuss ways to prioritize authentic assessment data in the IEP.
- Summarize the Golden Thread of the IEP.
- Create high quality goals based on present level data.
- Clarify what makes a goal “IEP worthy”.
- Restate the importance of targeting foundational skills for IEP goals.
