The Writing Measurable IEP Goals and Objectives book is a must-have for all special educators. This professional resource can help change the way special educators view the IEP, from a burdensome process to an extremely valuable document. This book focuses on both the art and science of writing a strong IEP. New practice exercises provide teachers the opportunity to discern whether an IEP goal is either measurable or not measurable and to give reasons why. Other exercises ask teachers to identify unique needs, write annual goals, and create short-term objectives. With sample present levels of performance given, teachers must be able to identify two unique needs, write a measurable annual goal, and three short-term objectives for each need. With the updated content and new teacher activities, the 2019 edition of Writing Measurable IEP Goals and Objectives is an invaluable resource for all special education staff.
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 My only annoyance since this book was published in 2006 and it is now 2021 is that some of the terminology is outdated.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.
