<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Calibri>One of the
ways in which the National Organization of Professionals in Blindness Education
(PIBE) will be seeking to contribute to the field in the upcoming year is
through the production of several webinars, as well as working more diligently
to refer members to existing content which could prove beneficial. It sounds
like a webinar on drafting effective goals and short-term benchmarks, as well as
tracking the same, could be helpful to many. The PIBE Board would also love to
hear suggestions for other topics of interest and/or concern. Please email me on
or off list, and I will be happy to address these with the
Board.<o:p></o:p></FONT></P>

[Pibe-division] re Iep goal</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi Zephra;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>My first suggestion is for you in the future
to save your Iep goal and short term objectives on a Microsoft word
document so if you can't find your Iep goal that you input using your
online Iep system that you have a way of rewriting your goal. I have
one resource to suggest to look up goals and short term objectives at <A
title=http://www.tsbvi..edu/ href="http://www.tsbvi..edu/" rel=nofollow
target=_blank>www.tsbvi..edu</A> type in the search bos VI goals and
you'll be given various skills with goals and under each goal short term
objectives. You can use the ideas as a sproing board to write up iep goal
and short term objectives for your students. I've used the resource to
write clear and precise Iep goal and short term objerectives for my
student population which consists students with multiple disabilities who
ar blind sand visually impaired. The above resource assisted me
tremendously. Good luck rewriting your IewpEp goal and short term
objectives. I've learn that the goal needs to be worded spospecifically
and indicate how it is measured. This is known as smart goals and the
short term objectives can be referred to as bencyhmarks. I may have a
website to let you learn how to write iep goal and short term objectives
using this format. Many states require Iep goals and short term objectives
to be written up in this fashion. For the past three years, I have been
following the above wording. Smart refers to the goal being specific,
measurable, achievable, relevant and time bouound. You can write me
offlist for further ways to the goal using this criteria if your state and
school district require the implementation the above criteria. Good
luck!</FONT></DIV>
