An Individual Education Plan (IEP) is a necessity for the student who requires time and practice in establishing new skills and content.

In this online course, based on many decades of research, learn how to write goals using a fool-proof method which guarantees the goals to be observable and measurable.

In this current climate, special education teachers, generalist teachers and the school community have a responsibility in determining what curriculum will be taught and how it will be taught and implemented for students with additional needs.

The IEP is the document that will contain all of this information and it becomes the road map for the mainstream or specialist classroom teacher. With the current push for inclusion, the IEP will guide the teacher’s program to successfully include the student and to access the curriculum at their level.

Successful inclusion of students is more likely to occur when IEP goals are accurate, meaningful and where the curriculum and the IEP work together.


This online course will allow you to:

  • Learn to use the "ABCD" method of writing goals.
  • Link the IEP goals for students with additional needs to the general curriculum.
