Writing IEP Goals that Work

Today I'm continuing my series of expert chats with Brandie Rosen, a 25-year veteran of special education and teacher training.  She's worked on over 5,000 IEPs! She shares with us valuable insight into writing good IEP goals. 

IEP goals are the meat of any special education child's services.  They provide the road map for what the school, his teachers, and the child will be accomplishing as part of the special education programming for the next calendar year.  Brandie helps me to understand how this individualized map fits in with the general education curriculum and how it pulls services, like speech and language, to support meeting the IEP goals. We also dive into Brandie's work in training teachers, specifically with addressing anxiety in students. Brandie provides a framework for how she promotes a collaborative, expertise driven working style so that teachers can do their best work with students while students are getting all of their needs met.

Have a great day!
