Current Realities
•
Common concerns in legal findings
1. The IEP team does not develop or implement
progress monitoring plans.
2. IEP team progress monitoring responsibilities are
not properly delegated.
3. The IEP team does not plan/implement progress
monitoring for behavior intervention plans.
4. The team uses inappropriate measures to
determine student progress toward graduation.
5. Progress monitoring is not frequent enough to meet
the requirements of IDEIA or to provide meaningful
data to IEP teams.

IEP Goals
• In order to collect data that provides evidence of student
progress, the IEP must include measurable annual goals.
• Annual goals must include:
• clearly defined, observable behaviors/actions
• the condition under which the behavior is performed
• the performance criterion
SMART Goals
Aligned to Standards

S.M.A.R.T. Goals
S = Specific
Does the goal provide necessary information that
will answer the common “w” questions?
M = Measurable
What do I want the student to accomplish? How will
I know when the goal has been accomplished?
A = Attainable
Does the student have the right mindset, drive
and skills to accomplish the goal?
R = Realistic
Does the goal include an objective that the
student is both willing and able to work toward?
T = Timely
Are expectations clear as to when the student
should accomplish the goal?

S.M.A.R.T. Goals
Within one year, Jacob will demonstrate mastery of the multiplication
and division facts by increasing his current ability to accurately solve
nine random problems correct in three minutes to a target of 50
random problems answered correctly in a three minute period, as
measured by an informal teacher created assessment.
By the end of the year, Heidi will demonstrate her ability to
comprehend grade appropriate text that she has read by increasing her
current ELA benchmark assessment score from a 13% to a 75% as
measured by formal quarterly administration of the 4th grade ELA
benchmark assessment.

Communicate Progress
• A statement of how the child’s progress towards the
annual goals will be measured and how the child’s
parents will be regularly informed (through such means
as periodic report cards), at least as often as parents
are informed of their non-disabled child’s
progress…

and specific statements regarding student
progress?
Yes
Continue to measure
the progress using
the criteria set forth
in the IEP goals.
No
Update goals to
include
missing pieces of the
goals (SMART).
Include missing
pieces in the

progress.

Baseline and Target
• A goal cannot be measured if it does not include a baseline score
and a target score.
• Baseline score: a measure of the student’s skill/performance at
the time the goal is written
• Target score: the performance level that a student is expected
to reach in a specified time frame
