and so do I

I KNOW some of them do in FCPS. We were at an IEP meeting with the PSL in attendance and reviewing the data because the teacher indicated DS had mastered the goal. I was dumbfounded because I saw absolutely nothing indicating he was even making progress on it. Turns out, the teacher's data didn't support the assertion he had mastered it. The teacher's response was that she thought she was required to indicate students mastered their goals. The PSL about lost her sh!t.

sigh...was she a young teacher....maybe she's new to this. I have to say reading these comments from parents on this site makes it crystal clear why SPED teachers are leaving the profession and quickly.

This. Even in the years they give me their data and assignments tracked, the conclusions don't add up. MCPS.

+1 Goals should be measurable. MCPS spends more time avoiding teaching students than actually doing what the IEP says to do.

LOL enjoy the ever growing teacher shortage.
