IEP goals can CHANGE before the annual review!
Karen explains why timelines matter when writing measurable IEP goals.
Imagine a student starts the school year with a reading goal focused on decoding, but new progress data reveals that reading fluency is the greater need.
The IEP team doesn't have to wait until the next annual review to make adjustments!
Goals can be revised as a student's needs change, but the new goal must include a clear, measurable target and an appropriate timeframe.
Remember, annual IEP timelines and instructional weeks aren't always the same. What matters is creating goals that reflect the student's current needs and expected progress.
