Progress reports must be provided on each goal and objective at least as often as general education students receive progress notice (i.e. report cards). Most often, this is quarterly. These are recorded on goal pages of the IEP within the sped database.
Progress should be written so that the parent understands how the student is progressing towards completion of the goals and objectives. Progress should be written using the same quantifier as the goal or objective. If objective is a percent, the progress should be written using percentages. If the objective is written as words read per minute, the progress should be written that way as well. Data should be listed as evidence of progress towards the goal. Using the drop down menu alone is not sufficient; narrative comments are also required.
