The focus of this session is developing a present levels of academic achievement and functional performance (PLAAFP) statement based on student data, drafting measurable annual goals (academic and/or functional) and objectives, if appropriate, and collecting data for reporting progress.

Participants will understand the importance of these components and how their alignment results in an appropriate and ambitious individualized education program for students receiving special education and related services.

The intended audience for this training is special education teachers, related service providers, and any other professional staff responsible for drafting a student's IEP, including present levels of academic achievement and functional performance and measurable annual goals.
