Annual Goals
The purpose of an annual goal?
What is annual goals identify the areas in which a student with a disability needs special education services/specially designed instruction
By the next annual ARD, JOHN will apply mathematical process standards to add, subtract, multiply, and divide while solving problems and justifying solutions. [07.3] Success will be measured at a rate of 70%.
What is NO; Success criteria is not measurable; Goal is a restatement of TEK .
Specially designed instruction?
What is instruction that is tailored to a particular student.
IEP
What is individualized educational plan
The four critical components of a measurable goal?
What is Timeframe; Conditions; Behavior and Criterion
TEK:
understand, make inferences and draw analyze, make inferences and draw conclusions about expository text and provide evidence from conclusions about the structure and elements of fiction and provide evidence from text to support understanding. [08.6]
Goal:
Given an independent level informational text with relevant text highlighted, a partially completed graphic organizer, sentence starters, and teacher modeling, John will identify a key argument and write two supporting sentences which provide text evidence to support the argument, three out of four opportunities. Mastery criteria, 75%, as measured by a teacher-created rubric.
What is Yes; includes timeframe; condition; behavior and criteria. Goal is aligned to TEK.
Would Nonlinguistic Representations be considered a high yield instructional strategy or specially designed instruction?

PLAAFP
For a student who receives special education services in a general education (mainstream) setting and does not have modified content in any subject area, can the ARD committee write a “mainstream” or an “inclusion” goal for the student to master the TEKS for his or her enrolled grade-level?
What is No. A goal that addresses mastery of TEKS simply expresses the standard that is required for all students (not just students who receive special education services), and does not inform the specially designed instruction/special education service(s) the student should receive from a special education professional in order to be able to access and progress in the standards. Simply put, NEVER restate the TEK as the goal or objective/benchmarks for a student's academic annual goals.
TEK:
The student will analyze, make inferences and draw conclusions about expository text and provide evidence from text to support understanding. [07.10]
Goal:
By the next annual ARD, using extra time (Specify), modified assignments & tests (3 answer choices, simplified sentence structure and vocabulary, word banks), note taking assistance (provide copy in exchange for student's attempt), and oral administration of tests (for Reading: questions and answer choices read at student's request), JOHN will analyze, make inferences and draw conclusions about expository text and provide evidence from text to support understanding. [07.10] Success will be measured using daily work and teacher observations at a rate of 4 out of 5 times.
What is No; it simply restates the TEK as the annual goal.
Would a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) be considered a high yield instructional strategy or specially designed instruction?

SAS
What is supplemental aids and services
For which groups of students are functional goals appropriate?
What is any student whose PLAAFP statement indicates a non-standards based critical need that is preventing the student from accessing the general curriculum, the ARD committee may need to consider a functional goal.
By October 1 2022, given a shirt with 1 inch buttons John will independently grasp the buttons without dropping them in 3 of 5 trials.
What is Yes; includes timeframe, condition, behavior and criteria
Would a graphic organizer be considered an example of a high yield instructional strategy or specially designed instruction?

FACES
Functional academic curriculum for exceptional students.
The difference between an enrolled grade-level standards-based goal and the enrolled-grade level standards?
What is The student’s goal should not contain a restatement of the enrolled grade-level standards. Instead, it should include the goals that designate the specially designed instruction (content, methodology, and delivery of instruction) the student needs in order to attain the standards. The TEKS Vertical Alignments, may serve as a resource when aligning goals to standards.
By May 16, 2020, given direct instruction in high school Mathematics Models with Applications course and a calculator, JOHN will calculate deposits and withdrawals from his personal budget with 85% accuracy.
What is Yes it is measurable post secondary goal that includes timeframe, condition behavior and criteria.
