Setting clear, meaningful goals is one of the most powerful tools we have for behavior change. Whether you’re trying to build healthier habits or helping a student develop positive behaviors, research consistently shows that goal setting increases motivation, creates focus, and improves outcomes.
In education, Behavior IEP Goals can be just as transformative—as long as we apply the same principles that make goal setting effective in any context.
We’ve created a free Behavior IEP Goal Template to help guide you and your team through the process of writing IEP goals.
The template includes:
- Goal-writing prompts for IEP goals.
- Behavior Goal Scaling structure.
- A fully written example goal with fillable sections for present levels, objectives, and progress monitoring strategies.
