a student's advancement toward short-term SMART (specific, measurable, agreed, relevant,
timely) objectives in order to assist in the accomplishment of long-term objectives.

Input. This is your opportunity to share insights about your child both academically and outside
the school.
6. Is the IEP you create at the start of a school year FIXED (meaning it does not change) until the end
of the year? Why or why not? What causes a teacher to make changes in a child's IEP?
- During the school year, progress monitoring is done often to make sure the student is achieving
goals set in the IEP. IEPs can be changed at any time on an as-needed basis. Specific timelines
ensure that the development of an IEP moves from referral to providing services as quickly as
possible.
7. Is an IEP long-term or short-term? What is the difference between an IEP and a Lesson Plan?
- IEP specifies services to be provided by the school district. It describes anticipated long-term goals
and short-term objectives for a student and serves as a "blueprint" for instruction in the school
environment. It is not, however, a daily lesson plan. The IEP must be reviewed and updated annually.
