Have you heard about the best practice of developing student goals collaboratively, but you are uncertain about where to begin? This course was tailored just for you! Pam starts the seminar by highlighting the advantages of adopting a collaborative approach to goal writing for students, their families, to you as a related service provide, and the entire IEP team. She delves into how setting goals as a team can break down the barriers of working on skills in isolation and how it can enhance consistent implementation of practice and intervention strategies throughout the school day. You will gain insights into the crucial groundwork of preparing the team to work as one unit. Pam will then guide you through the 5 Steps of a Collaborative Goal Writing Process. You will get a list of guiding questions and/or tips for each step. She will provide best practices to ensure each team member can articulate their expertise clearly and feels valued throughout the process. Numerous examples illustrating opportunities for collaborative goals within various school contexts will be shared. Finally, she will discuss navigating Medicaid concerns. Leave the course with practical ideas and actionable steps for your team to take immediately, so you can begin creating student-centered collaborative IEP goals.
