SE Special Education and Related Services: Establishing Connections through Collaborative Goal Writing
January 22, 2025 at Southeast Arkansas Education Cooperative
Collaboration is an evidence-based and High Leverage Practice (McLeskey et al., 2019) and essential to ensuring student’s needs are met. As part of developing an IEP, team members must determine the student’s critical needs and develop goals based on those identified needs. Writing goals collaboratively, is a way IEP teams can leverage their collective expertise and value of related services to support a student’s needs in the school setting (Arner et al., 2022). In this session, we will explore collaborative goal writing, progress monitoring strategies, and apply concepts to anchor learning.
Objectives:
-Understand the benefits of wrap around services to collaboratively meet the needs of students.
-Identify parts of a goal
-Apply collaborative goal writing practices to co-construct a goal
-Participants will need to bring a device with internet access and a redacted (all identifying information completely removed) IEP for personal reflection (not sharing).
