Product Description

Writing clear, measurable annual IEP goals is a difficult skill to master. The good news is that goal writing is easy once the steps are revealed. In her latest book, Dr. Barbara Bateman takes actual goals, which were poorly written and turns them into productive ones. You learn to simplify the process by focusing on just four ideas: Observable behavior, measurable criteria, a given or condition for success and a final test.

Customer Reviews

Great refresher book!
This book is simple and user friendly. It is angled more toward the early years, and is limited in its content for secondary application. However, the basic formula is applicable.
