I strongly believe that using progress monitoring gives strong support for IEP goals. It gives observers an idea of what level the child is and how much he has accomplished and the observers will be aware of what to develop the next goals in the IEP. Monitoring Progress is meant to track down what the individual is doing during the ongoing time frame.
As professionals know that the IEP documents are only good for one year and they will need to be recreate the goals or expand if the majority of the goals have not been accomplished. The monitoring of progress is meant to collect data to show evidence for parents and other professionals of the ongoing progress to be shared.
It is important to use progress monitoring because the child may be constantly changing goals if he or she reaches the goal much quicker than a year. So if that happens, then the IEP team must develop new goals and objectives to make further progress in order to close the gap with typical students’ levels.
Progress Monitoring helps keep instruction on track for the individual child and it has abundant amount information to use for writing the IEP document. It also would make sure that teachers will know where the weakness are and helps guide the next step of instruction to meet the ongoing goals of the IEP.
