There is a seven-step process that you should use for developing standards-based IEPs.  This process is designed to help you determine and identify appropriate goals that help your student reach grade-level standards, or at least know that you’re moving in the right direction.  The Seven-Step Process to Creating Standards-based IEPs, from Project Forum at NASDSE, include the following:

1. Consider grade-level content standards for the grade in which the student is enrolled or would be enrolled on age.
2. Examine classroom and student data to determine where the student is functioning in relation to the grade-level standards.
3. Develop the present level of academic achievement and functional performance.
4. Develop measurable annual goals aligned with grade-level academic content standards.
5. Assess and report student progress throughout the year.
6. Identify specially-designed instruction including accommodations and/or modifications needed to access and progress in the general education curriculum.
7. Determine the most appropriate assessment option.

The following sections of this course will guide you through the above seven-step process for developing standards-based IEPs.
