IEP Goal Bank

A well-written IEP goal is essential to the IEP and special education. How can you monitor progress if you don't know what you are aiming at?

I often am asked, "Can you put together an IEP goal bank?" The number of possible IEP goals is infinite. The list could go on forever. But this list of IEP goals and objectives is a useful starting point. If you scroll to the bottom, you will find a PDF of printable IEP goals.

IEP Goals Examples

Before you head on down to the list of IEP goals and objectives, please take a look at this 3-minute video on measurable IEP goals.

Smart IEP Goals

What you will find here are many lists of IEP goals. For the most part, there's no need to reinvent the wheel. However, IEP goals should be specific to the child's needs. And, they need to be SMART IEP Goals. Here is a graphic showing what that means.

So, while browsing lists of IEP goals is easy, and you likely will find a goal that you like, it doesn't mean that it's appropriate for your child. You may need to do some reading there first, before you choose the measurable IEP goals from this goal bank list.

I have dozens upon dozens of articles about IEP goals on this site. In my online IEP Advocacy Training, I spend a great deal of time discussing IEP goals, how to develop them, write them, and measure them.

Finding great ideas (and there are literally thousands here) is just one step toward a solid IEP.

IEP Goals for Autism

I'm often asked why I don't have a separate IEP goal bank for autism. Or autism-specific IEP goals. Remember, IEPs are needs-driven, not diagnosis driven. So, you'd develop goals based on the child's needs. Yes, many students with IEPs for autism have similar needs.

I have a separate post about an Autism IEP, which explains how to build a solid, meaningful IEP if your child has autism.

Grade Level IEP Goals

At the bottom of this section, I will include the IEP goal formula. You can take any skill, any time frame, and plug it into the formula to make it measurable.

However, again, please remember that the goals are developed on baselines in the IEP present levels. It may not be inappropriate to take core standards skills and plug them in and make an IEP goal.

But, what are the baselines? If a child is behind his/her age and grade peers, the goal should be personalized to them.

What I'm not so succinctly saying is this: IEP goals are based on a child's existing skill set. And not an age, grade, or calendar expectation.

I have heard from parents in the past who were told "Well, we have to write goals based on core standards." No, no they don't. IDEA is very clear that goals are based on evaluations. It's an exercise in futility to write a goal that a child cannot reasonably achieve in one school year.

Measurable IEP Goals

Remember that the student's every area of need should be listed in IEP present levels. Use the baselines in PLAAFP to develop the goals.

But, wait! There's more!

In addition to the common requests that I get for IEP goals listed above, there are many more below. Just scroll through the titles and images, and surely you will have more IEP goal ideas than you know what to do with.

Printable IEP Goal Bank

Here you go. I consolidated the printable IEP goals and objectives bank. It is over 100 pages, so if you are going to print it, be aware. You might want to send it to Kinko's or Staples and have it bound so that you can use it as a reference.

The mission of Project 10: Transition Education Network, hereinafter referred to as "Project 10," is to assist Florida school districts and relevant stakeholders in building capacity to provide secondary transition services to students with disabilities in order to improve their academic success and post-school outcomes. Project 10 serves as the primary conduit between the Florida Department of Education (FDOE), specifically the Bureau of Exceptional Education and Student Services (BEESS), and relevant school district personnel in addressing law and policy, effective practices, and research-based interventions in the area of transition services for youth with disabilities.

Project 10 is currently focusing on four major initiatives outlined below: Capacity Building, Interagency Collaboration, Transition Legislation and Policy, and Student Development and Outcomes. The project also supports transition initiatives developed through the BEESS Strategic Plan 2018-2023.

Capacity Building

Project 10 will provide support for transition activities implemented through BEESS, specifically through the statewide development and implementation of evidence-based practices and alignment with general education initiatives. The Project will collaborate with others in identifying and implementing methods for improving the transition outcomes of youth with disabilities. Project 10 will provide training and technical assistance, including product development and dissemination, to assist school districts and other stakeholders in building capacity to implement secondary transition.

Interagency Collaboration

Project 10 will provide logistical support for developing and maintaining state and district level interagency activities. The project will also identify recommended practices in transition-related interdisciplinary and interagency collaboration and partner in collaborative activities.

Transition Legislation and Policy

Project 10 will provide training and technical assistance, including product development and dissemination, related to state and national legislation, State Board of Education Rule, and policy, including compliance requirements to transition stakeholders.

Student Development and Outcomes

Project 10 will provide training and technical assistance, including product development and dissemination, to transition stakeholders in the following areas: assessment and instruction; student-centered planning and self-determination; independent living, including recreation and leisure; postsecondary education and training; and career development and employment. Project 10 will support exemplary transition sites that model the use of evidence-based practices of student development in improving transition outcomes.

What is a career cluster interest survey?

Everyone has a different way to describe themselves and what they like to do. This survey lets you rate activities you enjoy, your personal qualities, and school subjects you like. Then you can see which career clusters are a match for your interests.

How long will it take?

The survey will take about 5-10 minutes.

What will I learn?

At the end of the survey, you will see a list of career clusters that are a good match for your interests.
