Target Audience: Special education teachers and related service providers (e.g., speech and language pathologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, school psychologists, social workers, school counselors, behavioral specialists) at any grade level. Administrators who support staff in this work will also benefit from this workshop.


For students to develop essential skill sets, it is necessary to define our learning and/or targets with specificity and objectivity, to identify data collection methodologies that appropriately measure those targets, and to collect and analyze ongoing data to ensure our chosen interventions are efficient and effective. This workshop is designed to develop greater competency in writing measurable goals and objectives and to create data collection and analysis systems that are well-matched and provide useful information about student progress.

Participants will:
· Review and revise goals and objectives;
· Create well-defined measurable targets;
· Develop corresponding data collection methods; and
· Test these systems and evaluate their effectiveness.
