NYSTCE Students With Disabilities Practice Test

Which option exemplifies a complete IEP Annual Goal?

1. Scott will solve math problems with 90% accuracy

2. Scott will solve math problems of three- and four-digit numbers with 80% accuracy on 9 out of 10 assessments

3. Scott will solve specific math problems with 70% accuracy

4. Scott will solve math problems with 90% accuracy on 7 out of 10 tests assessed weekly

The correct answer is: Scott will solve math problems with 90% accuracy

The most effective option that exemplifies a complete IEP Annual Goal is that Scott will solve math problems of three- and four-digit numbers with 80% accuracy on 9 out of 10 assessments. This goal is specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound, which are crucial criteria for developing effective IEP goals. In this goal, the specificity comes from clearly identifying the type of math problems Scott will be working on, namely three- and four-digit numbers. The accuracy criterion provides a measurable outcome, allowing educators and parents to track progress. Additionally, specifying that the goal will be assessed over 9 out of 10 assessments establishes a clear performance standard across a defined period. In contrast, the other options lack one or more elements that make a goal complete: - While the first option mentions solving math problems with 90% accuracy, it fails to specify the type of problems and lacks a criterion for assessment frequency. - The third option also mentions solving specific math problems but does not detail what those problems entail or define how progress will be monitored. - The fourth option provides a performance criterion and an accuracy measure, but again, does not define the types of math problems being targeted, which is essential for clarity in an IEP
