Overview of Academic Goal-Setting Strategies

This handout describes three validated goal-setting strategies educators can use to set intervention goals using general outcome measures. These strategies include using benchmarks for middle- or end-of-year performance, national norms for rate of improvement, and the intra-individual framework. For students with disabilities, these goal setting strategies may also be used by individualized education program (IEP) teams to set data-based IEP goals.
