Writing Measurable IEP Goals and Objectives

by Barbara D. Bateman, Cynthia M. Herr

Many special educators experience IEPs as burdensome, time-consuming legal documents that they quickly file with no intention of ever using. Many parents experience the IEP development process as intimidating, frustrating, and pointless. Too often, hours are spent laboring over IEP goals which are still unsatisfactory. However, measurable goals and objectives can be surprisingly fast, easy to write, and helpful, once the skill has been learned. This IEP best-practices book can teach you how.

I read this for my last semester of undergrad before student teaching. It was clear and concise and highlight common mistakes to avoid. I appreciated that mistakes were brought to my attention as well as ways to avoid and/or correct them. My only annoyance since this book was published in 2006 and it is now 2021 is that some of the terminology is outdated. Otherwise though, it was a good tool to help me on my way to becoming a good special educator.

This book's intended audience is primarily those working in the field of special education, but it includes some useful information for parents as well. A helpful reference.

It is for a class, but it was a lot better than I thought it would be. It certainly helped me understand the process a lot better. Spoiler alert, the student gets an IEP written.
