[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am looking at my DS's progress report and his IEP and there are phrases such as " completed goal X on 5 out of 10 opportunities".   I've asked them to share  the raw data they presumably collect.   I was given some sheets of paper with some subjective observations recorded and I am not able to see how they end up with 5 out of 10.   I've asked our IEP team that question and waiting for their response.

Now I am wondering whether there is a common standard/process at MCPS to collect data in support of IEP progress to goal and where can I find that information?

Do you have an understanding on how they come up with such numbers on your child's IEP?[/quote]

If they say your child has demonstrated a goal on 5 out of 10 opportunities then they should have data to back it up - a checklist, observation log, actual work samples, etc. So if the goal is for your child to add single digit numbers with 80% accuracy on 3 out of 4 trials, they should have 4 checklists that recorded him/her practicing flash cards and the percent correct for each trial. That's in an ideal world but it doesn't seem to happen that way. If you have concerns about your child's progress or you disagree with what they are reporting you should ask for more details or data.[/quote]
