What is the importance of setting goals in the IEP?

Goals in the IEP should be SMART: specific to the child’s needs, measurable, achievable, relevant to the child’s education, and has a clear timeframe for when it should be achieved. The goal should clearly state how the student will demonstrate their skills or behaviors, who will collect the data, and how it will be compiled and analyzed. These goals provide a clear path forward and allow for tracking of progress throughout the year.
