Developing SMARTER Goals Recorded Presentation
Have you kicked yourself a week after writing an IEP for writing objectives that weren’t measurable or a good fit for your student? This presentation on writing SMARTER goals will discuss strategies for writing goals that are SMARTER (Specific, Measurable, Achievable/Attainable, Relevant/Realistic, Time-bound, Educational, and Realistic). This presentation will discuss strategies for writing individualized SMARTER goals to meet the unique needs of students with visual impairments starting with a comprehensive understanding of the student. It is also important to scaffold goals and build on student’s existing skills to help students develop the highest level of independence and proficiency. This presentation will walk you through the process of using Blooms taxonomy to scaffold goals to focus on target behaviors and ensure you use descriptive conditions and criteria to make them SMARTER.
