As caregivers take on the new role of educating their children at home, they may be expected to collect data. A major section you’ve likely seen in your child’s IEP (Individualized Education Plan) is the Curriculum and Learning section.

Curriculum and Learning

One of the three main sections of an Individualized Education Plan is the Curriculum and Learning section. This section typically houses student academic goals based on their grade and current skill level. On the data sheets in the goal section is where you will write the goal as it is displayed on your child’s IEP. It is recommended you have your child’s teacher model how they teach the goal to ensure consistency, At this time, you can also ask them any questions you may have before beginning.

Let’s look at an example together!

Step 1: Preparation

• Jeff’s mom wants to begin working on his IEP goals with him. She reviewed the goals and asked his teacher to model the goal during a virtual session and asks any questions. She then prepares her materials needed to work on the goals. She cuts out letter and number flash cards for Jeff for his specific goals.

Step 2 Data Collection:

• Jeff’s mom writes his IEP goals in the goals column on the data sheet. Each day she works on the goals with Jeff she writes the total correct answers and the percent for that day. At the end of the week she wrote in the total days he reached or went above the goal over the total days they worked on the goal.

Step 3 Reviewing Data:

• For the first goal, we can see they worked on identifying letter sounds on 5 different days. On two of the days Jeff didn’t get all of the letter sounds correct, those days are below his goal of 80%. On the other three days, he identified enough letter sounds correctly to meet his goal. His total for this week was 80% or more for 3 out 5 trials.

• For the second goal, we can see they worked on identifying numbers on 5 different days. On three of the days Jeff didn’t identify all the numbers correctly, those days are below his goal of 80%. On the other three days, he identified enough numbers correctly to meet his goal. His total for this week was 80% or more for 2 out 5 trials.

This is just one example of a goal collection data sheet. There are certainly more available and recording data may be different based on each student’s unique goals. Below you will find a blank IEP goal tracking sheet, a blank IEP goal tracking sheet for documenting percentages of success, and additional resources for math, reading, and language arts.
