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 Math Fact Goal
Why I Dislike This IEP Goal:
- What kind of addition problems? Sums within 10? Within 20? Within 100? 1,000?
- Twenty? WHY? Do you like torture yourself? You can see what students know with far less problems.
- Where is the timeframe on this goal?

Why I Prefer This IEP Goal:

- I can clearly see the type of addition problem that my student will be solving.
