The focus of this session is developing present levels of academic achievement and functional performance (PLAAFP) development based on student data, drafting annual goals (academic and/or functional) and objectives, if appropriate, and collection data for reporting progress. 

Participants will understand the importance of these components and how their alignment results in an appropriate and ambitious individualized education program for students receiving special education and related services. 

The intended audience for this training is special education teachers, related service providers, and any other professional staff responsible for drafting a student's IEP, including present levels of academic achievement and functional performance and measurable annual goals.  

This training was created by the Child Find, Evaluation, and ARD Support Statewide Technical Assistance Network in collaboration with the Texas Education Agency with state and federal grants.
