2. Session Objectives • Teachers will use student performance data including OAT and OGT results to develop IEP Goals and Objectives. • Teachers will manipulate various websites to help with monitoring IEP Goals and Objectives.

3. 1st Objective of the day… Teachers will use student performance data to develop IEP Goals and Objectives. OAT / OGT Student Information per school can be found on your disc. “Identify the common causes that keep you from achieving success in your system and you fix them.” Raymond J. McNulty

4. Resources • OAT/ OGT Data Analysis (on disc) • Pacing Guides • District Testing Schedule • Ohio Content Standards • Testing Blueprints • Practice Test • Websites • Study Island, Ed Helper, Pink Monkey • Success-Public Portal

9. Identify Areas of Need • Determine Strengths and Weaknesses • Prioritize Areas of Need • Focus on Foundational Pieces of Curriculum • What does the state think is important? (OAT/OGT blueprints) • What does the child need to level the playing field?

10. Student OAT/ OGT Data 08-09

11. What does the state think is important? Look at your students individual performance, identify the weaknesses, develop IEP goals to make them strengths and work on them diligently everyday until your student reaches their goal!

15. What standard is an area of weakness?

16. Where does the student need to be? • State Standards • Continue to pull from your grade level • Benchmarks • DIBELS, District-wide Assessments • Pacing Guides • Foundational pieces- Preview/Review Content • Access to General Education Curriculum • What does the state think is important? • Blueprints

17. How can you, or better yet, HOW WILL YOU correlate the information that you have analyzed from your students performance on standardized and state scores and incorporate that information into annual IEP goals and objectives for progress monitoring? Let’s think SMART if we are measured through OAT/ OGT / Alternate Assessment… Shouldn’t we align our IEP Goals and Objectives to our students performance on those assessments?

18. Example Student • 6th Grader Boy at GEMS • Disability Category- SLD • 5th Grade Reading OAT Data (from disc) • Acquisition of Vocabulary - • Reading Process * • Informational Text + • Literary Text -

19. Present IEP Goals • Oral Reading Fluency Goal using DIBELS data and benchmarks • Reading Comprehension Goal • Using OAT Data, what can I change or add to this student’s IEP????

20. Include OAT/ OGT, Performance Assessments in the students Present Level of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance

21. Current IEP What can we add or change about this student’s Goals and Objectives???
