A guide to quick and effective writing of accurate and measurable IEP goals and objectives. IEPs are necessary, required by law and when done properly can be extremely helpful in guiding the student's educational trajectory. This book, written by two of the foremost special educators and IEP legal experts is designed to bring you up to speed whether you're just entering the field or have worked in it for years.
I read this for my last semester of undergrad before student teaching. It was clear and concise and highlight common mistakes to avoid. I appreciated that mistakes were brought to my attention as well as ways to avoid and/or correct them. My only annoyance since this book was published in 2006 and it is now 2021 is that some of the terminology is outdated. Otherwise though, it was a good tool to help me on my way to becoming a good special educator.
This book's intended audience is primarily those working in the field of special education, but it includes some useful information for parents as well. A helpful reference.
It is for a class, but it was a lot better than I thought it would be. It certainly helped me understand the process a lot better. Spoiler alert, the student gets an IEP written.
