Smart Ieps Objectives

Specific: A Specific goal which is set in order to have a much greater chance of being accomplished than a general goal.

IEP stands for an Individualized Education Program, it is a document, that was developed in conjunction with the parent/guardian, is an individually tailored statement describing an educational plan for each learner with exceptionalities There are five major points that are to address the present level of academic functioning personnel as present level of performance, annual goals and accompanying instructional objectives, educational services to be proved, the degree to which the pupil will be able to participate in general education programs, and plans for initiating services and length of services and length

In the video, it discusses the main purpose the to discuss the student behavior. I also notice that they included a parking lot for when the meeting gets out of topic we can write down in the parking lot and address them at a later the end of the meeting. Also, the team must discuss the main goals to create strategies to help with the student educational goals. In the video, it discusses the student overall progress and behavior and set out goals was to create strategies to improve student behavior at school. In addition, reviewing to IEP checklist I believe the difficult part is not getting off the topic. They will be parents that are unhappy or don’t agree with the results that can cause tension and frustration. The purpose of the meeting is to collaborate and coming into agreement strategies to improve on the child goals. It will be difficult to stick with the agenda when the parent has other topics to address instead of the goals that are presented. Facilitated IEP are beneficial with complex IEP meeting issues especially when knowing beforehand situations have been complex. A facilitator supports the general IEP team that is conducting a IEP meeting. The team members run the meeting while the facilitator main purpose is to intervene and upholds the peace, while assisting the team to focus on the real issues and goals in

[The learning goal states that the focus learner will be able to formulate learning that all circles are similar through application of transformation techniques (translation and dilation), by the end of the learning segment. The IEP goal states requires the focus learner to describe relationships between similar geometric shapes with 70% accuracy on informal assessments, utilizing one to two supports, by the ending of May 2016. In each lesson the objectives systematically build upon each other as they support the focus learner in accomplishing the learning goal that is based on the focus learner’s IEP goal. The lesson goal and the IEP goal both relate to learning of geometric shapes, with the learning goal being more specific, the circle. After selecting the circle a Common

IFSP focuses on individualizes supports for a child and their family to enhance the development of the child. It minimizes the need for special education.

One option on the form is that the student will meet the districts graduation requirements or will complete the measurable annual goals and therefore will not need new measurable annual goals. The student is expected to graduate with a regular diploma by the end of the current school year. Another option is that the student will not meet the district’s graduation requirements, or will not complete the measurable annual goals and that student will need new annual goals. The IEP team members will then write a new IEP for the next school year. The third and final option on this form is that the student will not meet the district’s requirement and will not receive a regular diploma; however the school district will not provide the student with special education services for the next school

The special education teacher interviewed, showed me that she uses the teaching/individual goals related to each student’s IEP. The teacher always tries to excel and reach the needs to relate

The IEP shows some goals that demonstrate appropriate teaching strategies that can help the student in her education. For example, small group, individual assistance, praise, chunking, repeat instructions, modeling, manipulative, and extended time are some of the instructional accommodations that I implement with her on a daily basis. Additionally, the component of listed IEP goals shows that I demonstrate my skills in teaching effective skills to students and consider their needs so I can bridge the gap in their education. The IEP goals are related to student’s needs and weaknesses, life experiences and interests. For instance, when presented with a list of words commonly found on personal data sheets (i.e. name, first, last, address, phone), the student will correctly pronounce and insert at least five of the ten words with 80% accuracy over 4 out of 5 trial days as observed and recorded by staff. This goal is functional and will help the student in case of an emergency that she will need to tell people about her name and

My academic SMART goal was to remember to check my math homework and tests, so my math grade would increase. I wanted to check my math tests and homework because I had been getting questions wrong on my math tests and homework. These were mistakes I could fix by remembering to check my work. I knew when I achieved my goal when I saw that my math grade had improved. My goal had been successful because my grades improved since week one of the goal tracking.

The consequence of not writing IEPs, in strength based form, is the suffering of the child because most IEPS are written in a method that shows deficits. Meaning that students could continue to struggle and feel inadequate in reaching their goals because they continue to work without their strengths. An example is a child with a weakness in math, but a love of drawing. We could either write a goal because he struggles with math or we could write a goal that uses his love of drawing to help him learn math. Example: Using drawings of objects, the student will solve math expression 8 out of 10 times. By allowing him to incorporate his passion into the lessons this student could grow and begin to understand math. Children need to know that teachers and parents want to create goals for them that will make them feel empowered and not insufficient.

When setting smart goals it is very important to follow the acronym provided. S for specific, M for measurable, A for attainable, R for relevant, and T for timely. If you follow these five simple steps your goals should be clearly defined but writing your goals down can only get you so far, you need you need to take action towards your goals. Goals won’t magically happen just because you’ve written them down. Even if you come up with a perfect smart goal nothing happens if you don’t act on them.

The students will also learn functional math to teach the student how to use paper money. The IEP team decides what goals to set and how the student shall accomplish the goals by setting quarterly benchmarks that are obtainable by the time the team meets again at the annual IEP. When the students are in high school you want them to learn how to do small jobs such as; vacuuming, cleaning tables and chairs, being able to sort mail with a letter sorter, shredding, rolling plastic ware, and even filling salt and pepper shakers so they could do some type of work at various places.

Setting effective objectives to guide your team and organisation is very important for a leader to get right. Badly formulated objectives will steer an organisation in the wrong direction. I found this ten step approach to setting SMART objectives:

To be useful, the stated objectives should meet several criteria which are known as SMART objectives. [Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timed]

As it was described somewhere in this unit, SMART goals are good tools to be used in the realization or achieving our plans SMART stands for: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time-bounded. A smart goal will evidently decrease negative emotions such as irritation, upset or disappointment but instead will
