Creating Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals is an art that requires precision and personalization. Traditionally, goals are often set with an expectation of achieving 80% IEP goal mastery. However, it’s time to reconsider this standard and explore alternative approaches that better reflect the unique needs and capabilities of each student.
In the realm of special education, selecting the right assessment tool is crucial for understanding the unique needs of students with developmental delays or disabilities. The Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program VB-MAPP Assessment stands out as a comprehensive and widely used assessment designed to evaluate verbal and social behavior in learners with language deficits.
Selecting the right assessments in special education is paramount to understanding and fostering the growth of students with unique learning needs. Two widely used assessments, the Assessment of Functional Living Skills (AFLS) and the Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills – Revised (ABLLS-R), stand out as comprehensive tools designed to evaluate different facets of a student’s abilities.
We all know that understanding the unique needs of each student is foundational to effective teaching. There are valuable tools for achieving this understanding through baseline assessments. These assessments serve as a diagnostic tool, pinpointing areas of strength and identifying deficits.
Maybe you realized during quarter 1 that you have not taken enough data points for your students’ IEP goals. You may be looking for new ways to ensure data tracking is happening daily!
Predictable Chart Writing (PCW) is one such tool, a dynamic approach to fostering foundational writing skills, even for nonverbal students who use Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) to communicate. In this blog, we will explore Writing with Predictable Chart, its benefits, and how special education teachers can harness its potential in their classrooms.
