A note on mastery of objectives

Labels: IEP, mastery criteria, SMART goals

It is important that IEP objectives, like any other goals, be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely (SMART). Part of making the goals measurable is identifying how "mastery" of the objective will be defined.

Mastery criteria might take the form of:
- 4 out of 5 over 3 data collections
- 90% accuracy
- 85% intelligibility by XX date
- 50% over a 9 week period

Thank you for sharing!

I've started adding IEP goals here, will continue to add more as time permits. These are all from our own IEP's, intended to be used as reference for other families who may be working to develop IEP goals for their own children.

I decided to group them by focus area, you can use the drop-down menu under "topics" or search to find specific areas of interest.

Some goals are similar to others, but represent a progression over time (ie. with adult facilitation, independently, etc.).

If this is helpful, or not helpful, or if you have any suggestions, feel free to email me at:
