Writing the perfect IEP goals is literally the starting point for so many things that we do as special education teachers.

Write a bad one, and you’re gonna pay for it for the rest of the year.

And trust me, we’ve all written bad ones. Sometimes more than once. 🥴

Crappy Sight Word Goal

Why I Dislike This IEP Goal:

  • What list of sight words?
  • Is 80% the same as four out of five trials? Do I need to do this five times in order to master it?

Improved Sight Word Goal

Why I Prefer This IEP Goal:

  • I love Dolch, but you can love or use something else. What I love is that I know what I should be using. Even if this student moves, the new school can get an idea of what this student was working on at the time this IEP was written.
