ISBE's cyclical monitoring process audits IEPs across all six cohorts, and the same findings keep coming back: goals that don't hold up and progress monitoring that doesn't move students forward. In this Illinois Learn-a-Latte, Dr. David F. Bateman draws on more than 1,000 due process cases to show what legally defensible IEP goals look like and what progress monitoring has to do beyond checking a box.
Key takeaways
- What ISBE monitors look for in IEP goals
