Every IEP document shall include a “statement of measurable annual goals” which allows the child to be involved in and make progress in the general education curriculum. This is done to meet each of the child’s other educational needs that result from the child’s disability. IEP document development and student progress monitoring are vital components of successful IEP implementation. Data on student progress helps parents and teachers better understand student learning successes and needs. It also helps target instruction to those needs and supports teachers in identifying appropriate teaching methodologies. To support this process Parent/Learning Coach, Independent Study Teacher and special education teachers are required to collect work samples, attendance, participation rates, and other informal academic measurements to monitor the student’s academic, behavioral, and social progress outlined in the IEP.
