A New Format

Recently in California, a new format for writing IEP's was developed. Today's special educators face new requirements each time they draft goals and objectives. California teachers are now required to write their student objectives using this style. If you follow a few short steps, you can convert the Idea Statement into the new format.

The following is the alternate benchmark method you could use to describe your students IEP's. There are several examples of benchmarks for you to use. Simply copy any Idea Statement and/or Alternate Benchmark you want, and paste it to your form, or download the free form on this site. Change the Idea Statement to best describe your students needs.
