## ***IEP Goals*** ***3d: Using Assessment in Instruction*** The teacher utilizes ongoing strategies to gauge student knowledge and understanding, empowering students to self-assess, to monitor progress, and to establish high standards for assessment. ***InTASC Standard #2: Learning Differences*** The teacher uses understanding of differences & diverse cultures to enable individual learning ***Description*** “IEP Goals” is a paper I wrote in my 2nd year at Pitt Greensburg. In this assignment, we were given a profile on a student which included his background, his family history, and what struggles he was having in the classroom. The student is a 7 year old ELL learner who is learning English at a good rate. His parents are educated and were unaware of special services for their child. Based on this information, I wrote goals relating to his needs, in this case reading and phonemic speech, that would be applied to an IEP for the student. This assignment allowed me to strengthen my ability to plan for differences and exceptionalities in the classroom and adjust so that every student’s needs were met. ***Rationale***  This artifact demonstrates my ability to plan for different instructional needs in the classroom. By analyzing the student’s background, class history, and needs, I was able to develop targeted goals that would help him get to where he needed to be by the end of year while also supporting his exceptionalities. This assignment reflects on my growth throughout the school year in adapting to student’s unique needs and developing methods to work with the student rather than around.    ![[Artifact 3-E-2-3.pdf]]
