B. Goals and Objectives: Math

Student CG Goal & Objective
Given a grade-level math assessment, C will solve 75% of the problems correctly as measured by curriculumbased assessment.

Appropriate/Relevant
This goal is appropriate and relevant for the student given that his current level of performance shows that on a 7th grade CBM he is able to answer 50% of the questions. To make this goal more relevant I would add the grade level that he should be tested. I would add Given a seventh grade-level math assessment.. I would also add a criterion and ending date to the IEP. I would have the goal be the following: Given a seventh grade-level math assessment, C will solve 75% of the problems correctly as measured by curriculum based assessments by the end of the school year for three consecutive trials. I feel that this goal is both relevant and appropriate. From this goal, many points come across clearly. You know the type of assessment, what grade level is expected, and what needs to increase.

Challenging
I would consider this to be a challenging goal for him. From what I have observed and based on his present level of performance having a goal of 75% of questions answered correctly would make this a challenge.

QJ

KS

In 34 weeks, using 7th grade Aimsweb math computation probe and 8 minutes to work, Q will increase his score from 9 to 18 points. In 34 weeks, given an 6th grade Aimsweb math concepts probe and 8 minutes to work, Q will increase his score from 8 points to 12 points. Given mathematical problems, K will identify money, solve problems with whole number, fractions, decimals, collected data, elapsed time, geometry and measurement using addition,

I feel that this would be challenging for this student. He would definitely show improvement in his computation and concept skills when he meets his goals for the year.

This goal is very appropriate and relevant based on the material that is covered in his math class. All of these topics are scheduled to be covered throughout the school year.

I feel that this will be a challenging goal for him to complete. I think that it is a good goal as getting at least 80% would be passing grades in his math class. Based on his present level

of performance there are some topics that he will be challenged to meet this goal. I think that this goal would be pretty challenging for this student after looking at his present level of performance. Based on this information, on a 5th grade level his highest score was 63%. It seems ambitious that on a 6th grade level he would get 80% of question correctly.

AG

I feel that this goal is appropriate and relevant based on his previous performance. The only thing that I would add to this goal is a length of time and criterion. I would write the goal as follows: Given a 6th grade math probe, E will solve 80% of the problems accurately for three consecutive trials as measured by a curriculum based assessment by the end of the school year. Given direct instruction in the This goal is appropriate and area of math concepts and relevant since it is focusing applications, A will correctly on grade-level assessment answer 75% of questions on tests. Holding him to a grade an 8th grade pre-algebra of 75% or higher would have assessment. him passing his math class.

ND

Given mathematical problems, N will solve problems with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, collected data, elapsed time, geometry and measurement using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with 80% accuracy or better as measured by a curriculum based assessment.

This goal is very appropriate and relevant based on the material that is covered in his math class. All of these topics are scheduled to be covered throughout the school year.

I feel that this goal will be challenging for the student based on his present level of performance. Based on that information he was tested on a 7th grade level and the highest he tested was 44%. Having him reach a goal of at least 80% on each assessment will give him passing grades. I feel that this goal will be challenging for this student.

TH

Given direct instruction in math computation, T will increase her score from 10 to 18 points using an 8th grade AIMSweb math probe and 10 minutes to work.

I feel that this goal is appropriate and relevant. I would add a few things to this goal to make it a little stronger. It would look something like this: Given a 6th grade Aimsweb math probe and 8 minutes to work, M will increase her score form 4 points to 10 points by the end of the school year for three consecutive trials. I feel that this goal is appropriate and relevant. I would add a few things to this goal to make it a little stronger. It would look something like this: By the end of the school year and receiving direct instruction in math computation, T will increase her score from 10 to 18 points using an 8th grade AIMSweb math probe and 10 minutes to work for 3 consecutive trials.

91% of questions correctly on a 6th grade CBM. To make this goal more challenging, I would test her on a 7th grade level and then re-write the goal. Based on her present level of performance, I would say that this will be a challenging goal. Increasing her score 6 points will be a challenge for her.

Based on her present level of performance, I would say that this will be a challenging goal. Increasing her score 8 points will be a challenge for her.

D. Assessment and Evaluation of Progress:

Throughout the class period several methods are used to track how students are doing. Observations will also be used during all class periods to see how students are performing throughout the lesson. Each class period students will have problems to complete independently. Another way students are monitored is that they must fill out an exit slip after lessons. The exit slip asks a few questions after each lesson to see how

they did on the days lesson. This shows if they have caught onto the information and who might need some clarification. Another way the students will be assessed is through the end of chapter tests. After each chapter the students will be tested on material that is covered. Once a month AIMSweb or EasyCBM curriculum based measures will be used to evaluate students progress. Students progress is also monitored through taking MAP and PASS testing throughout the school year. Using these testing methods keeps in line with all of the students IEP goals. They will also help to see how students are progressing throughout the school year. Grades are determined by the following manner: o End of the Chapter Tests o Participation Grades (Taken randomly throughout the quarter. Random assignments are taken to see if the student attempted the problems.) Student progress is recorded in the grade book with a numerical grade. Using a grade book helps to keep the grades organized throughout the quarter and school year. o Grading Scale: A 100-93 B 92-85 C 84-77 D 76- 70 F 69 and below

E. Classroom Management Rules, Consequences, and Procedures:

Rules: 1. Be in the room on time and prepared with proper materials. 2. Follow the discipline code. 3. Show respect to the teacher and fellow students. This shows you respect yourself. 4. Pay attention and participate in class. 5. Adhere to the honor code. Consequences: 1. Warning conferences with student. 2. Conference with student. 3. Phone conference with student and parent. 4. Phone conference with student and parent. Team time detention assigned. 5. Referral for Pattern of Minor Infractions.

Each student is allotted 4 minors per class per year. Every minor after the fourth is automatically escalated to a Referral. This is not negotiable.

Rewards: 1. Verbal praise/recognition 2. Positive calls/texts/notes to parents 3. Library pass 4. Structured activity time I feel that these rules, consequences, and rewards are age appropriate. Students should know how to follow these rules and are appropriate in other situations in life. I also feel that they are positively written and observable. The rules let students know what behavior is expected and promotes positive behaviors within the classroom. They are also consistent with school regulations as these are what all students should follow throughout the school day.
