  1. Training 1 – IEP Matrix Overview: Before we can dive into using the IEP Matrix for writing IEP goals, we have to understand what the IEP Matrix is and how to use it. Welcome to the IEP Matrix overview.
  2. Training 2 – Where to Start with the IEP Matrix: Now that we know what the IEP Matrix is, we’re going to learn how to use the IEP Matrix for IEP goal writing and lesson planning.
  3. Training 3 – Using Data to Write IEP Goals: Now it’s time to look at the data we’ve collected and written into the Present Levels section of the IEP and choose IEP goals.
  4. Training 4 – Writing IEP Goals: You’ve got the data, you’ve got your IEP Matrix, now it’s time to write the IEP goals… but how? In this training, we will learn what questions to ask yourself when sitting down to write IEP goals and how to write GOOD IEP goals.
  5. Training 5 – Writing IEP Goals with Data Collection in Mind: Data, check. IEP Matrix, check. Knowing how to write IEP goals, check. Now it’s time to learn about writing IEP goals with data collection in mind. In this training we will talk about goal criteria and writing IEP goals with progress monitoring in mind.
  6. Training 6 – Adapting Resources: You’ve done all the work and you’ve written some pretty stellar IEP goals with guidance from your new best friend… the IEP Matrix. But now it’s time for IEP implementation, and with that comes adapting resources. In this training, we will talk about the different ways to adapt resources and how adaptations align with IEP goals.

When watched in succession, you’ll have everything you need – at your digital fingertips – to write more individualized, better aligned IEP goals and objectives for each of your students.
