IEP Goals: The Best Practices for Sustaining Meaningful Progress

​Join special education advocate Joseph Martinez for an in depth training focused on understanding how effective IEP goals are developed, monitored, and implemented to create meaningful and lasting student progress.

​Participants will learn what makes a goal legally and educationally meaningful, how progress is tracked over time, and how to identify when goals and services are not properly aligned.

​Drawing from real-world advocacy experience, this training will help participants break down common issues in IEP development-such as vague or immeasurable goals, unclear progress monitoring systems, and mismatches between services and student needs.

​By the end of the session, attendees will be able to critically evaluate IEP goals, ask informed questions during meetings, and better advocate appropriate supports that reflect a student's needs.
