Just because it's a grade-level standard doesn't mean it's an appropriate IEP goal!
Karen explains why IEP teams need to ask one important question: Is this goal reasonable for THIS student?
Consider the child's individual abilities, current performance, rate of progress, and the instruction and support available to help them succeed.
Grade-level standards matter, but IEP goals must also reflect the student's unique circumstances and be designed to support appropriate progress.
It's not about lowering expectations. It's about setting meaningful, individualized goals that help students move forward!
