Goals Writing

Writing IEP Annual Goals Memorandum March 10, 1999 TO: Sp. Ed. Teachers FR: Nissan B. Bar-Lev, Director of Special Education RE: Writing IEP Annual goals Many of you have done a great job in writing your IEPs to reflect the legal requirements of "annual goals", "short term objectives" and other IEP elements. Unfortunately, an increasing number of IEPs reaching my office appear to lack the appropriate language required by federal IDEA 1997 and Wisconsin Statutes 115. Specifically, I am concerned about 3 elements: 1. Present Level Of Educational Performance (PLOP). In some instances, the statement is general, using the student's disability as the explanation. There are no specific indicators of the "base rate" - the current level of performance in objective terms for every annual goal in the IEP . As a reminder, I am restating the information that I shared with you on 1/6/99 (Q & A memo on IEP) regarding PLOP: The statement should accurately describe the effect of the child's disability on the child's performance in any area of education and progress in the general curriculum, including (1) academic areas (reading, math, communication, etc.), and (2) non-academic areas (daily life activities, mobility, etc.). Note: Labels such as "Cognitive Disability" or "Autism" may not be used as a substitute for the description of present levels of educational performance. The statement should be written in objective measurable terms, to the extent possible. Data from the child's evaluation would be a good source of such information. Test scores that are pertinent to the child's diagnosis might be included, if appropriate. However, the scores should be (1) self-explanatory (i.e., they can be interpreted by all participants without the use of test manuals or other aids), or (2) an explanation should be included. Whatever test results are used should reflect the impact of the disability on the child's performance. Thus, raw scores would not usually be sufficient. There should be a direct relationship between the present levels of educational performance and the other components of the IEP. Thus, if the statement describes a problem with the child's reading level and points to a deficiency in a specific reading skill, this problem should be addressed under both (1) goals and objectives, and (2) specific special education and related services to be provided to the child. Example of Present Level of Performance: Jenny is unable to comprehend her assignments. She needs material read aloud or use of audiotapes of curriculum in order to grasp concepts. Jennys written language is below grade level. She is not completing her work in a legible manner. She is failing 80% of weekly spelling tests. Scores from the Woodcock-Johnson given on 11/15/98: Math application 8.2 grade level, Word identification 3.0 grade level, Written language 1.8 grade level, Math operations 7.9 grade level, Reading comprehension 2.1 grade level. 2. Annual Goals. In some cases, the annual goal does not include a "level of attainment". Instead, it states that the student "will improve his or her reading scores", "show growth in the cognitive area", "will demonstrate improved understanding" etc. As we have discussed many times at our staff meetings, annual goals have three parts: (a) direction of behavior (increase, decrease, maintain, etc.) (b) area of needs (reading, social skills, transition, communication, etc.) (c) level of attainment (to age level, without assistance, etc.) It must be stated in measurable terms. This is the information that I shared with you on 1/6/99 (Q & A memo on IEP) regarding annual goals: The annual goals in the IEP are statements that describe what a child with a disability can reasonably be expected to accomplish within a twelve-month period in the child's special education program. As indicated under Question 1, above, there should be a direct relationship between the annual goals and the present levels of educational performance. Annual goals have three parts: (a) direction of behavior (increase, decrease, maintain, etc.) (b) area of need (reading, social skills, transition, communication, etc.) (c) level of attainment (to age level, without assistance, etc.) The annual goal must now be stated in measurable terms. Examples of annual goals: Jenny will increase her reading comprehension score from 2.1 to 3.0 as measured by the teacher on 1/6/2000 (at the end of 12 months). Jenny will increase her written language score from 1.8 to 2.6 as measured by the teacher on 1/6/2000 (at the end of 12 months). Additional Examples: Appropriate Goal Questionable Goal Joe will have no more than 5 unexcused absences/tardinessthis year. Joe will have a better attitude toward school 80% of the time. Sara will participate regularly in a supervisedextra-curricular activity that meets weekly. Sara will make wise choices in her use of Leisure time. Jim will maintain a C+ average in his regular classses. Jim will be 75% successful in the mainstream. Beth will pass upper body strength items on the fitness test. Beth will show an appropriate level of upper body strength. 3. Short Term Objectives This is the information that I shared with you on 1/6/99 (Q & A memo on IEP) regarding short term objectives: Short-term instructional objectives (also called IEP objectives) are measurable, intermediate steps between the present levels of educational performance of a child with a disability and the annual goals that are established for the child. The objectives are developed based on a logical breakdown of the major components of the annual goals, and can serve as milestones for measuring progress toward meeting the goals. In some respects, IEP objectives are similar to objectives used in daily classroom instructional plans. For example, both kinds of objectives are used (1) to describe what a given child is expected to accomplish in a particular area within some specified time period, and (2) to determine the extent that the child is progressing toward those accomplishments. In other respects, objectives in IEPs are different from those used in instructional plans, primarily in the amount of detail they provide. IEP objectives provide general benchmarks for determining progress toward meeting the annual goals. These objectives should be projected to be accomplished over an extended period of time (e.g., an entire school quarter or semester). - On the other hand, the objectives in classroom instructional plans deal with more specific outcomes that are to be accomplished on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Classroom instructional plans generally include details not required in an IEP, such as the specific methods, activities, and materials (e.g., use of flash cards) that will be used in accomplishing the objectives. A benchmark stems from the regular education curriculum. It is a designated milestone, showing the level of progress towards the annual goal. (Example: completion of book 2 in a series of books). Example of short term objectives: Jenny will read her weekly assigned classroom selection in social studies or science and correctly answer 8 out of 10 end of chapter questions. Jenny will read independently for 15 minutes per day and answer correctly a "where", "what" and "why" question orally. Jenny will write a paragraph composed of at least 3 sentences in her journal using proper grammar and correct spelling. Jenny will write a complete sentence within a minute of viewing a picture or being given an idea. Cc Special Education Coordinators School District Administrators

By settinggoals on a routine basis you decide what you want to achieve, andthen move step-by-step towards the achievement of these goals.Theprocess of setting goals and targets allows you to choose whereyou want to go in life. By knowing precisely what you want to achieve,you know what you have to concentrate on to do it. You also knowwhat is merely a distraction. Goal setting is a standard technique used by top-level athletes,successful business-people and achievers in all fields. It givesyou long-termvision and short-term motivation. It focuses your acquisition ofknowledge and helps you to organize your resources. By setting sharp, clearly defined goals, you can measure and takepride in the achievement of those goals. You can see forward progressin what might previously have seemed a long pointless grind. Bysetting goals, you will also raise your self-confidence, as yourecognize your ability and competence in achieving the goals thatyou have set. The process of achieving goals and seeing this achievementgives you confidence that you will be able to achieve higher andmore difficult goals. Goals are set on a number of different levels: First you decidewhat you want to do with your life and what large-scale goals youwant to achieve. Second, you break these down into the smallerandsmaller targets that you must hit so that you reach your lifetimegoals. Finally, once you have your plan, you start working towardsachieving it. Starting to Set Personal Goals This section explains how to set personal goals. It starts withyour lifetime goals, and then works through a series of lower levelplans culminating in a daily to-do list. By setting up this structureof plans you can break even the biggest life goal down into a numberof small tasks that you need to do each day to reach the lifetimegoals. Your Lifetime Goals The first step in setting personal goals is to consider what youwant to achieve in your lifetime, as setting Lifetime goals givesyou the overall perspective that shapes all other aspects of yourdecision making. To give a broad, balanced coverage of all important areas in yourlife, try to set goals in some or all of the following categories: Artistic: Do you want to achieve any artistic goals? If so, what? Attitude: Is any part of your mindset holding you back? Is there any partof the way that you behave that upsets you? If so, set a goaltoimprove your behavior or find a solution to the problem. Career: What level do you want to reach in your career? Education: Is there any knowledge you want to acquire in particular? Whatinformation and skills will you need to achieve other goals? Family: Do you want to be a parent? If so, how are you going to be a goodparent? How do you want to be seen by a partner or by membersof your extended family? Financial: How much do you want to earn by what stage? Physical: Are there any athletic goals you want to achieve, or do you wantgood health deep into old age? What steps are you going to taketo achieve this? Pleasure: How do you want to enjoy yourself? - you should ensure that someof your life is for you! Public Service: Do you want to make the world a better place by your existence?If so, how? Once you have decided your goals in these categories, assign apriority to them from A to F. Then review the goals and re-prioritizeuntil you are satisfied that they reflect the shape of the lifethat you want to lead. Also ensure that the goals that you haveset are the goals that you want to achieve, not what your parents,spouse, family, or employers want them to be. How to Start to Achieve Your Lifetime Goals Once you have set your lifetime goals, set a 25 year plan of smallergoals that you should complete if you are to reach your lifetimeplan. Then set a 5 year plan, 1 year plan, 6 month plan, and 1 monthplan of progressively smaller goals that you should reach to achieveyour lifetime goals. Each of these should be based on the previousplan. Finally set a daily to-do list ofthingsthat you should do today to work towards your lifetime goals. Atan early stage these goals may be to read books and gather informationon the achievement of your goals. This will help you to improvethe quality and realism of your goal setting. Finally review your plans, and make sure that they fit the wayin which you want to live your life. Staying on Course Once you have decided your first set of plans, keep the processgoing by reviewing and updating your to-do list on a daily basis.Periodically review the longer term plans, and modify them to reflectyour changing priorities and experience. An easy way of doing this is to use the goal-setting softwarelike GoalPro6 on a daily basis- we review GoalPro on the left-hand sidebar, alternatively youcan download GoalPro from SuccessStudios web site. GoalPro uses a similar set of categoriesto ones we recommend - either use theirs, or adapt the softwareto use ours. Setting Goals Effectively The following broad guidelines will help you to set effective goals: State each goal as a positive statement: Express yourgoals positively - 'Execute this technique well' is a much bettergoal than 'Don't make this stupid mistake' Be precise: Set a precise goal, putting in dates, timesand amounts so that you can measure achievement. If you do this,you will know exactly when you have achieved the goal, and cantake complete satisfaction from having achieved it. Set priorities: When you have several goals, give eacha priority. This helps you to avoid feeling overwhelmed by toomany goals, and helps to direct your attention to the most importantones. Write goals down: this crystallizes them and gives themmore force. Keep operational goals small: Keep the low-level goalsyou are working towards small and achievable. If a goal is toolarge, then it can seem that you are not making progress towardsit. Keeping goals small and incremental gives more opportunitiesfor reward. Derive today's goals from larger ones. Set performance goals, not outcome goals: You shouldtake care to set goals over which you have as much control aspossible. There is nothing more dispiriting than failing to achievea personal goal for reasons beyond your control. These couldbebad business environments, poor judging, bad weather, injury,or just plain bad luck. If you base your goals on personal performance,then you can keep control over the achievement of your goalsanddraw satisfaction from them. Set realistic goals: It is important to set goals thatyou can achieve. All sorts of people (parents, media, society)can set unrealistic goals for you. They will often do this inignorance of your own desires and ambitions. Alternatively youmay be naïve in setting very high goals. You might not appreciateeither the obstacles in the way, or understand quite how manyskills you must master to achieve a particular level of performance. Do not set goals too low: Just as it is important notto set goals unrealistically high, do not set them too low. Peopletend to do this where they are afraid of failure or where theyare lazy! You should set goals so that they are slightly outofyour immediate grasp, but not so far that there is no hope ofachieving them. No one will put serious effort into achievinga goal that they believe is unrealistic. However, remember thatyour belief that a goal is unrealistic may be incorrect. If thiscould be the case, you can to change this belief by using imageryeffectively. Achieving Goals When you have achieved a goal, take the time to enjoy the satisfactionof having done so. Absorb the implications of the goal achievement,and observe the progress you have made towards other goals. If thegoal was a significant one, reward yourself appropriately. With the experience of having achieved this goal, review the restof your goal plans: f you achieved the goal too easily, make your next goals harder If the goal took a dispiriting length of time to achieve, makethe next goals a little easier If you learned something that would lead you to change othergoals, do so If while achieving the goal you noticed a deficit in your skills,decide whether to set goals to fix this. Failure to meet goals does not matter as long as you learn fromit. Feed lessons learned back into your goal-setting program. Remember too that your goals will change as you mature. Adjustthem regularly to reflect this growth in your personality. If goalsdo not hold any attraction any longer, then let them go. Goal settingis your servant, not your master. It should bring you real pleasure,satisfaction and a sense of achievement. Example: The best example of goal setting that you can have is to try settingyour own goals. Set aside two hours to think through your lifetimegoals in each of the categories. Then work back through the 25-yearplan, 5-year plan, 1-year plan, 6-month plan, a 1-month plan. Finallydraw up a To Do List of jobs to do tomorrow to move towards yourgoals. Tomorrow, do those jobs, and start to use goal-setting routinely! Key points: Goal setting is an important method of: Deciding what is important for you to achieve in your life Separating what is important from what is irrelevant Motivating yourself to achievement Building your self-confidence based on measured achievementof goals You should allow yourself to enjoy the achievement of goals andreward yourself appropriately. Draw lessons where appropriate, andfeed these back into future performance.
