Summary
Individualized education program (IEP) goals for students with extensive support needs often lack academic content and self-determination skills, focusing instead on compliance. This limits student progress in general education curricula.
Area of Science:
- Special Education
- Disability Studies
- Educational Psychology
Background:
- Individualized Education Program (IEP) annual goals are mandated by the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act.
- IEP goals aim to facilitate student involvement and progress in general education and address unique educational needs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the content of annual IEP goals for K-12 students with extensive support needs.
- To identify the extent to which goals promote engagement with the general education curriculum and self-determination skills.
Main Methods:
- Content analysis of 88 IEPs for K-12 students with extensive support needs.
- Evaluation of goal alignment with general education curriculum and self-determination development.
Main Results:
- A significant lack of comprehensive academic content goals was observed.
- Limited opportunities for students to develop self-determination skills were identified.
- Goals predominantly focused on student compliance rather than meaningful skill acquisition.
Conclusions:
- Current IEP goals may not adequately support students with extensive support needs in accessing the general education curriculum.
- There is a need to revise IEP goal development to foster academic progress and self-determination.
- Implications for practice include enhancing goal-setting strategies to promote meaningful learning and student autonomy.

Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

1.6K
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

11.9K
Self-Determination Theory (SDT), formulated by Richard Ryan and Edward Deci, explains that human motivation is driven by three fundamental psychological needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. When these needs are met, individuals experience personal growth, intrinsic motivation, and overall well-being.
Autonomy is the need to feel in control of one's actions and decisions. For example, a student who chooses their research topic is likely to be more engaged and motivated than one who...

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
1.2K
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

01:11Guidelines for Writing Outcome

When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...
