(a) A statement of measurable annual
goals, including measurable short-term
objectives.
SMART Goals
 Specific
 Measurable
 Achievable
 Relevant
 Time Limited
Key Question: What should the child be doing?
◦ What areas of the general curriculum is the child having difficulty with because of his/her disability?
◦ What are the most important areas of the general curriculum for the child to master?
◦ What other areas are difficult for the child? Consider behavior, motor, social-emotional,
communication, self-help.
Purpose: To describe what a child can reasonably be expected to accomplish within 12 months with
specially designed instruction and related services. Annual goals enable the child to be involved in and
progress in the general curriculum. They are also intended to meet other educational needs that result from
the child's disability.
Definition: An annual goal:
◦ is directly related to the present level of performance which provides baseline information about the
child
◦ sets the direction for working with the child
◦ is written for specially designed instruction, not all aspects of the child's educational program,
unless the total program is special education
◦ provides a way of determining whether anticipated outcomes are being met, and whether
placements and services are appropriate for the child's special needs.
◦ has three parts:
the child . . . does what. . . to what level/degree
Key Characteristics:
◦ describes what the child will do
◦ measurable
◦ functional
◦ observable
◦ meaningful
◦ comprehensive
Writing Strategy: Describe the behavior the child will be doing when the goal is reached.

A well-written goal has four critical elements:
• Target date for achieving the goal.
• Identification of what the student will
demonstrate.
• Under what conditions or to what
level/degree the student will perform.
• How progress will be assessed/evaluated.

Objectives (or in other cases, benchmarks)
are smaller steps. They break the annual goal
down into smaller pieces.

Regular Education Teacher on IEP Team Is Required by IDEA '97.
The final Part B regulations incorporate the requirements of IDEA
'97 regarding regular education teachers in the IEP process,
including specifying that -The IEP team for each child with a disability must include at least
one regular education teacher of the child (if the child is, or may
be, participating in the regular education environment) (see
§300.344(a)(2)); and
The teacher must, to the extent appropriate, participate in the
development, review, and revision of the child's IEP, including –
◦ the determination of appropriate positive behavioral
interventions and strategies for the child, and
◦ the determination of supplementary aids and services, program
modifications, and supports for school personnel that will be
provided for the child consistent with the IEP content
requirements in §300.347(a)(3). (See §300.346(e))




Child's Teachers Must Have Access to IEP and Be Informed of
their Responsibilities.
§300.342(b)(2) (entitled "Implementation of IEPs") has been
added to the regulations to specify that each public agency
must ensure that -THE IEP OF EACH CHILD WITH A DISABILITY IS ACCESSIBLE to
each regular education teacher (as well as each special
education teacher, related service provider, and other service
provider) who is responsible for implementing the IEP; and
EACH TEACHER AND PROVIDER IS INFORMED OF -- (A) his or
her specific responsibilities related to implementing the IEP,
and (B) the specific accommodations, modifications, and
supports that must be provided to the child in accordance
with the IEP.
Mechanism for Informing Staff at Discretion of Agency.
The above requirement is necessary to ensure proper
implementation of the child's IEP and the provision of FAPE to
the child. However, the mechanism that the public agency
uses to inform each teacher or provider of his or her
responsibilities is left to the discretion of the agency.

Public agencies are required to maintain
records to show compliance with program
requirements, pursuant to § 76.731 of the
Education Department General Administrative
Regulations (EDGAR) and the MARSE.
Documentation must include sufficient
written detail to demonstrate compliance.
