Collaboration is an evidence-based and High Leverage Practice (McLeskey et al., 2019)
and essential to ensuring student’s needs are met. As part of developing an IEP, team
members must determine the student’s critical needs and develop goals based on those
identified needs. Writing goals collaboratively, is a way IEP teams can leverage their
collective expertise and value of related services to support a student’s needs in the
school setting (Arner et al., 2022). In this session, we will explore collaborative goal
writing, progress monitoring strategies, and apply concepts to anchor learning.
Objectives:
? Understand purpose of goals in school-based practice
? Identify parts of a goal
? Apply collaborative goal writing practices to co-construct a goal
