IEP Form 4A – Annual Goals
IEP Form 4B or 4C is required for students who
take the CAPA. These students require annual goals AND objectives or
benchmarks. Best practice would be to use Form 4B or 4C for any students who
are working on pre-academic or functional skills.
1. Area of Need: Indicate the area of need for each goal developed. These areas of need should match the
Ňareas of needÓ on Form 3. (i.e., math, reading, behavior)
2. Baseline: Specify the studentŐs baseline
performance. The baseline should describe the childŐs current performance on
the skills identified in the goal. The baseline should be a quantifiable
description of classroom performance in the specified area. (i.e., reads 20
sight words, writes a simple paragraph of 2-4 sentences, etc.)
3. Measurable Annual Goal #: Enter the number of the annual goal.
4. Standard: First consider standards at the
studentŐs chronological grade level. Also consider pre-requisite skills, levels
of the cognitive domain, accommodations, modifications, and assistive
technology.
5. Annual Goal: Annual goals must be measurable
and relate to the baseline data.

á
