Tuesday: Effective Advocating- IEP goal bank

For those who have children with IEP's (Individualized Education Plan) or are interested in learning more here is one of the most valuable assets I have- the IEP goal bank. It's a google document so everyone should be able to look at it. 177 pages of sample goals organized for easy searching. It's a great resource.

IEP goals are a team decision, but you can bet the educators are prepared with their ideas so you should be too. Go in to the meeting with your plan and an open mind to listen to the other ideas presented and you'll leave with the feeling that you did your best to provide for your child's education. If your child already has an IEP look to last years goals and you can use this tool to help you build on those goals.
