Should a Student’s Progress or Mastery Toward IEP Goals Be the Basis for Grades?
kristina@partnerstx.org2019-05-30T12:29:11-05:00A student’s progress or mastery toward his/her IEP goals is never the basis for his/her grade. It is important to point out that, even if written in measurable terms, a goal such as “70% mastery of grade- level TEKS” does not meet IDEA requirements of a measurable goal detailed in 34 CFR §300.320(a)(2)(ii). Such a goal is simply a restatement of the expectations for all students in general education.
