IEP Goal Support Skill

IEP goals only help a student if they're measurable: a baseline, a target, a timeframe, and how progress is checked. This skill drafts SMART goals and matched accommodations educators can bring to the team. This is a drafting aid, not legal advice — the IEP team, the student's data, and local/IDEA requirements govern the final document.

Working from a brief

Given a student profile and area of need, draft full goals anyway, using clearly-labelled illustrative baselines (replace with the student's real data). Never invent specific diagnoses; work from the need described. Always keep the disclaimer.

Required Inputs

Ask for (if not already provided):

• Area of need (reading fluency, math, writing, behaviour/SEL, communication, motor, executive function)
• Present level — what the student can do now (baseline data if available)
• Grade/age and any relevant context
• Timeframe (typically annual) and how progress is measured
