  Case: TOO Many IEP GOALS
What do you do when you inherit an IEP with too many goals to access? I feel that I am not able to teach because I am busy collecting data on their goals?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Define with the committee the studnet's true weak areas. For example, if they struggle with math and writing, then they should only have goals for those two areas. Meet with the committee, parents and students, and amend the IEP. Set goals that you know you will be working on with the student and that you know they should be able to master within the next several months. If they can master the goal you put in place, then you can amend again and move on to another item they may need to be working on.

Comments: I agree that the committee should come together and just work on the true weak areas of the students goals. There should only be enough that the student can work on and then they could meet again and set new goals.

Comments: I think it is important to know when a goal has been mastered, and the student has out grown it. This way they can continue to improve.
