IEP Goal Bank This IEP GOAL BANK is the place where you can "deposit" your own IEP goals/objectives and "withdraw" the goals/objectives contributed by others. Few things cause more angst in our profession than writing IEP goals/objectives! One way to simplify the process is to use the template below. If all sections of this template are filled in, then your goal/objective is measurable. IEP Goal/Objective Template: From a baseline of ___, the student will.... perform a specific skill a specified number of times under specified conditions at a specified level of achievement for a specific length of time. For example: From a baseline of 55% at the single word level, Joey will... correctly produce an /s/ in the initial position of 25 words from his classroom curriculum after highlighting those sounds as a visual reminder in 8 of 10 trials (80% accuracy) for three consecutive therapy sessions. IMPORTANT NOTE: You will likely NOT be able to use these goals/objectives "as is." 3. 4. Fluency Goals: I. II.
A video interview with Patricia Polacco Patricia Polacco grew up hearing family stories from her Ukrainian grandmother. In the absence of a television set, Polacco's "Babushka" told gripping tales in front of the crackling fireplace. In keeping with oral tradition, Polacco retold these stories to her own children. It wasn't until Polacco was 41 that she started to write down this family history and illustrate it. Patricia Polacco is now the author and illustrator of many charming picture books. Patricia Polacco has fond memories of her Ukrainian, Russian, and Irish grandparents. Throughout her school years, Polacco struggled with reading. Polacco graduated from college with a degree in fine art and eventually received a Ph.D. in art history. After living much of her life in urban Oakland, Patricia Polacco has now moved back to the family farm in Michigan.
