The IEP process remains a valuable means of collaboratively planning for the educational needs
of students. It brings together parents/careers, educators, specialist support staff and the student
(where appropriate) as a team to consider the student's current level of performance and to
determine the student's educational needs and future learning priorities. In a IEP, there are 4
quarters each quarter represent the overview of the weaknesses and strengths does the child have.

year. Characteristic of Annual Goal

As parents of special needs kids, it is our responsibility to help guide, direct and advocate
for our children's education. I happen to live in a school district where this is a relatively easy
task. Not all parents here agree with me, so it's up to us, as our child's best advocates, to ensure
that our children are getting what they need and deserve from the school system. That's where
the Individualized Education Plan comes in.
ALL goals should reflect concerns that were stated in the present level. Nothing should
just appear in the IEP without being able to be traced back to demonstrated concerns or
deficiencies.
