IEP Form 4C – Annual Goals
and Objectives
Use IEP Form 4A for students who are not
taking the CAPA. Objectives or benchmarks are no longer required for students
who are accessing the general curriculum. Draft goals and objectives or
benchmarks, if required) may be developed prior to the meeting and reviewed
with the team for changes. Annual goals must be measurable, and at least one
annual goal must be written for each area of identified need.
Follow the directions for Form 4A and include
measurable benchmarks or objectives.
Benchmarks
are restatements of the goals with increasing proficiency (i.e. 50% accuracy,
75% accuracy etc.).
Objectives
are subskills leading towards goal mastery (i.e. multiply 2 digits by 3 digits;
analyze word problem to identify data needed to determine area of a
rectangle.).
