Sped Teacher Small Talk Segment w/Co-Host Paul Hubbard
Writing IEP Goals
Welcome to the 6th installment of the Sped Teacher Small Talk series with co-host Paul Hubbard, where we dive into a randomly generated topic each month.
This month we are discussing the crux of our jobs as special educators...Writing IEP goals.
Paul uses a great analogy within this episode about how a good goal and strong progress monitoring techniques are like dropping water on the same spot on a rock...over and over and over...And how in doing so, the water will eventually begin to make an impact on the rock.
Listen in as we discuss:
- The importance of having strong IEP goals
- The challenge of generic and non-individualized goals in IEPs
- The purpose of an IEP goal: Guiding instruction and interventions
- Elements of the SMART framework for writing effective goals: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound
- The need for goals that have a meaningful impact on the student's education and personal growth.
