Session Objectives
• Participants will be able to apply a six step process for developing annual measurable IEP goals
• Participants will be able to:• Make necessary data collection decisions• Establish baseline data• Collect ongoing progress monitoring data• Analyze data collected to make
appropriate instructional changes
3
Agenda
• Welcome• Warm Up• Six Step Process for writing annual
measurable IEP goals
PA Academic Standards
What students need to know and be able to do
Required by state regulation as basis for curriculum and instruction in PA schools.
Necessitate assessment, instruction, materials, strategies that are best suited to help all students achieve.
Should be reflected in IEPs
5
Standards and Anchors
Standards Benchmark measures define what
students should know and be able to do
Assessment Anchors Provide clear examples of
skills/knowledge that should be learned and will be assessed on state tests at specific grade levels

Accessing the General Education Curriculum
• What is meant by the general education curriculum?
• The full range of courses, activities, lessons, and materials routinely used by the general population of a school
• What is meant by access?• Active engagement in learning the
content and skills of the curriculum that is being taught to general education students
10
What is a Standards-Aligned
IEP?
An IEP that connects a student’s learning to grade level standards and evaluates their progress through the lens of the general education curriculum and state standards
Standards-Aligned IEP Goals
Are derived from the PA Academic Standards
Use language from Standards (including Big Ideas, Concepts and/or Competencies from the Standards Aligned System) and Assessment Anchor Content Standards
12
Characteristics of Standards Aligned Goals
• Address student needs identified in Present Levels of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance (PLAAFP)
• Project student performance at the end of one year of instruction
• Begin from baseline of skill• Describe skill attainment level• Need to be prioritized: 3-5 goals • Are NOT the curriculum or program • State measurable, countable data• Lead to visual countable progress
monitoring12
13
Steps to Writing Measurable IEP Goals
• Step 1: Consider Grade Level Standards and Content
• Step 2: Exam the Data• Step 3: Develop the PLAAFP (baseline
data)• Step 4: Develop Measurable Annual Goals• Step 5: Assess and Report Progress• Step 6: Specially Designed Instruction
(SDI), Supplementary Aids and Services, Accommodations / Modifications
14
Step 1 Consider Grade Level Content
• What is the intent of the content standard?
• What is the content standard saying that the student must know and be able to do?
15
Step 2Exam the Data
• Examine classroom and student progress monitoring data to determine where the student is functioning in relation to the grade level standards
• Include at least 3 to 4 types of assessment data
16
Data Collection Decisions
• What kind of data will be collected?• Who will collect the data?• Where will data be collected?• How often will data be collected?
17
Data Collection Decisions
What type of data will be collected?• Frequency or rate• Fluency• Percentage or accuracy• Duration• Latency• Quality• Level of Assistance• Number
18
Data Collection Decisions
Who will collect the data?• Special education teacher• Regular education teacher• Paraprofessional• Parent• Related service provider• Student
19
Data Collection Decisions
Where will the data be collected?• Settings (classroom, home,
playground, cafeteria, community, etc.)
• Situations (during instruction, transitions, free time, etc.)
20
Data Collection Decisions
How often will the data be collected?• Daily• Twice a week• Weekly• Every other week

24
Step 3Develop the PLAAFP
Provide a summary of baseline academic
achievement data/assessment data indicating what the student is currently able to do and a description of how the disability effects student’s progress in the general education curriculum
25
Example
“Jessie’s classroom performance is inconsistent.”
Does this example provide an explicit description of what Jessie is able to do?
26
Your perspective…
• What might a student’s PLAAFP look like if all assessments and data were based on instructional level?
• What might a student’s PLAAFP look like if all assessments and data were based on grade level?
• What would be missing if only formative assessment was used?
27
Step 4 Measurable IEP Goals
• Non-Measurable Annual Goal• John will decrease calling out in class.
• Measurable Annual Goal• John will increase hand raising and
waiting to be called on by the teacher to 10 times per day using event recording.

Measurable GoalsJust Checking Activity
1. Look at the following examples and decide if they meet the criteria for a measurable goal.
2. If the example does not meet the criteria, identify the missing part and rewrite the goal to make it measurable.
3. Be prepared to share one of your amended goals with your table group.
40
Measurable GoalsJust Checking Activity
1. Bruce will clap his hands when he hears the target sound produced during a series of isolated sound productions (e.g. ssss, rrr, t, k,zzzz, etc.) by November 2011.

8. At the end of the weekly spelling lesson, Jackie will correctly spell 5 of 10 single syllable words featuring the long a sound with 100% accuracy.
42
Step 5 Assess and Report Progress
Consider:• How does the student demonstrate what
they know and is able to do?• How does the teacher evaluate student
progress?• Are a variety of assessments used to
measure progress?• How will progress be reported to
parents?
43
Step 6Identify Specially Designed Instructionand Supplementary Aids and Services
• Available to all students who need them. • Designed to provide meaningful
educational benefit.• Provided in a manner that avoids
stigmatizing students • Enable students to access the general
education curriculum

Prioritizing Needs for David
KEY QUESTIONS TO ASK…
What prerequisite skills/knowledge does David need to close the gap between his present levels of academic achievement and the grade-level standards?
50
Program Modifications and Specially Designed Instruction
Standards (Big Ideas, Concepts, and/or Competencies from the Standards Aligned
System):The WHAT of education for all students
Specially Designed Instruction (SDI): The HOW of education for students with
disabilities
51
51
Program Modifications and Specially Designed Instruction
SDI is based on identified student needs.
SDI connects to the goal, which comes from
needs identified in present levels, which
comes from assessment.
52
The “What” of SDI
• May involve any aspect of the student’s instruction, including materials, techniques, assessments, and activities.
• May proceed to modifications of content, but only after modifying the instruction.
• Must consider the regular education curriculum first, then modifications to the regular education curriculum, and only then can specially designed instruction involve a special course.
53
• Anywhere inside or outside the school, as stipulated in the IEP.
• Implemented in any classroom.
• Implemented by all teachers, although a special education teacher directs it.
Where is SDI Implemented?
54
SDI for Assessment and Instruction
Assessment accommodations on IEP should be those used routinely by the student.
• “Directions for all assignments and assessments may be read aloud or clarified”.
• “Additional spacing provided for writing on worksheets and assessments.”
• “Use of word processor for tasks requiring written responses more than 2 sentences in length. Spell checker/grammar disabled for writing assessments. ”
• “Use of highlighter, graphic organizers for reading assignments in all classes.”
• “Allow highlighting, marking answers on the actual test form.”
55
SDI Considerations - IEPs
• Does the SDI item relate directly to assessment information on the student?
• Can another adult read the SDI item and have a reasonable idea of what to do with the student?
• Does the SDI item include “brand names?”• Does the SDI item define “who” is going to implement
it, and how often a day or week it will be implemented?• Is it possible to measure the effectiveness of the SDI
item? • Is “As needed” or “Requested by student” used?
56
Small Group Work
1. Work with a partner
2. Develop at least 3 SDI for David
3. Remember to refer to David’s “Present Levels” and “Goal”
4. Share with other diads at your table
5. Be prepared to share one with whole group
