BLN Take-Aways by Barclay Carson https://padlet.com/barclaycarson7/vbi4gk9vj740 What stood out to you? en-us 2019-08-01 19:47:48 UTC 2025-11-21 19:33:22 UTC hello@padlet.com #1&2 https://padlet.com/barclaycarson7/vbi4gk9vj740/wish/373076345 I like the acronym GOAL....

I have previously only focused on academic goal setting except for a few children on behavior plans. I like the idea of "expanding the options." ]]> 2019-08-02 16:25:15 UTC https://padlet.com/barclaycarson7/vbi4gk9vj740/wish/373076345 2. ashleynthornton https://padlet.com/barclaycarson7/vbi4gk9vj740/wish/373076375 Three keys:
- Expanding goal-setting options
- Allowing the goal to go into home life in order for students to realize it's important.
- Evaluating their progress]]> 2019-08-02 16:25:50 UTC https://padlet.com/barclaycarson7/vbi4gk9vj740/wish/373076375 # https://padlet.com/barclaycarson7/vbi4gk9vj740/wish/373076377 2019-08-02 16:25:51 UTC https://padlet.com/barclaycarson7/vbi4gk9vj740/wish/373076377 #5 Response from Matt Renwick https://padlet.com/barclaycarson7/vbi4gk9vj740/wish/373076378 I can see how involving students in goal setting could make I.E.P.s even more collaborative and meaningful as the student would be an active member of the team and would be ,more "invested" in the goal and objective setting portion of the I.E.P.  Greater accountability and responsibility for the student, not just the teacher.
