EDPD.5019 Mastering SMART Goals, Progress Monitoring, and Data-Based Decision-Making for Student Achievement
This course is designed to equip educators with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively write Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals (or RTI goals) and implement progress monitoring strategies. Participants will understand the "why" behind setting goals based on student learning needs, learn the principles of how SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals are developed based on skill/needs, and create goals. Students will then research and find evidence-based practices to match the learning needs of students, deliver instruction, and monitor student progress (data collection). Participants will explore using AI tools to assist their work.
