How often will you collect data on IEP goals and objectives?

We work directly on IEP goals in a 1:1 or 1:2 setting (that’s why I said this probably wouldn’t work for other settings) – and data is collected on each goal at least 2x a week, but usually 3-4x per week. This allows us to consistently move forward and choose new objectives for each student.

How do you write IEP goals and objectives?

Write down several statements about what you want your child to know and be able to do. Revise these statements into goals that are specific, measurable, use action words, are realistic, and time-limited. Break down each goal into a few measurable short-term steps. Describe what the child will know or be able to do.

What is the purpose of IEP goals?

IEP goals are the specific details in your child’s plan that describe what they should accomplish during the school year.

Do IEP goals have to be on grade level?

No. Just because the IEP goals are based on state standards for your child’s grade doesn’t mean your child has to achieve grade level in that year. Your child just needs to show steady progress toward achieving it.
