Week 5 Assignment Instructional Planning: Assessment to Practice Plan
[WLOs: 1, 2, 3] [CLOs: 1, 3, 4]
In previous weeks, you have learned that evaluation results provide the necessary information to create clear and comprehensive present levels of academic and functional performance. These levels of performance highlight student strengths and deficit areas, and this critical information is used to generate annual goals. In this week’s discussion forum post, you had the opportunity to revisit Henry’s evaluation results and create three IEP goals using the SMART goal format.
Now that you have created annual goals, you need to determine if the student is making adequate progress towards meeting or exceeding these objectives. Essentially, you are determining the effectiveness of the student’s special education programming.
For this assignment, you will create a progress monitoring plan that will highlight how student progress is being measured and reported while aligning assessment to practice components. Use the when completing this assignment. Be sure to thoroughly complete each section of the template, as this will emphasize the decision-making process and demonstrate a strong alignment with the assessment and evaluations results.
