The Goalbook Toolkit really takes the mystery out of IEP writing and planning by helping educational professionals collaborate and communicate to devise meaningful, achievable goals for their students, as well providing amazing tools to track each student’s progress. Many teachers would agree that actual classroom teaching is the great aspect of the job, but the paperwork and IEP planning can be a bit tricky sometimes and at times a lot less rewarding, especially when you are trying to coordinate the schedules and insights of multiple people on your multidisciplinary team, and track results from the multiple services a student receives, all the while adhering to FERPA. So Goalbook gets both the educational and the technology side of Ed Tech, which makes for the design of a very valuable and informed tool. Goalbook is one of the few educational technologies that was created by a coder who also spent time as an educational specialist for students with disabilities in East Palo Alto, California. It also happens to be one of our favorite resources. Today’s Ed Tech review is for teachers –specifically special education teachers.

However although sound educational theories it can be tricky for teachers to find tools that enable them enact the principals of personalized learning.

We place strategies at the fingertips of teachers to maximize access to the standards for every student.My latest review is up on the Yellin Center blog. Every standard has adapted goals so that teachers can start at the most appropriate level for students.Īligned instructional strategies and resources aid teachers as they plan instruction. We use strategies and supports aligned to the UDL framework to develop scaffolded instruction at mild, moderate and intense levels of support. Our repository includes content for Pre-K to Grade 12 in Reading, Writing, Math, and Speech, in addition to Behavior, Social and Emotional Learning, Autism, Occupational Therapy, Alternate Academic and Life Skills, and Transition.
We take each state and Common Core standard, identify its “Essential” – or “Core Purpose” – and create IEP goals, resources, and strategies. We presume competence and write the first goal at a grade level expectation. We take each college and career readiness standard and create specific and measurable learning goals aligned to the standard. Support teachers with designing learning targets and instructional plans that respond to the different ways students learn and their individual needs.Įmpower teachers to identify learning barriers and apply effective strategies based on research to ensure all students can access the general curriculum.
