in understanding the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), as
amended in 2004, and the components of a performance goal and how this format
applies to the mandates of the IDEA.
A step-by-step approach will direct the learner through goals and objectives, their relationship to district general education standards, and practical methods of measuring objectives to assure progress.
