This outstanding training program introduces the concept of Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) and how to use this tool to write more effective and meaningful IEPs.  Every student is different, yet classroom settings don’t allow you to teach each one independently.  Your Individualized Education Plan, however, can make a big difference!  You’ll learn specific ways to measure student progress, how to use normative aimlines, and how to write annual goals and short-term objectives for reading, writing and math.

 

Master teacher and national trainer, Dr. Donald Crawford will share with you his approach that uses the advantages and strengths of CBM to make writing IEPs a snap!
