Registration

The purposes of this webinar are to:

1. Clarify the importance of the assessment and present levels statement in writing goals
2. Explain a process for developing annual goals during an IEP meeting.
3. Present a simple four-step method for ensuring that goals are actually measurable.
4. 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.
