IEP Progress Monitoring in Oklahoma
How often should you receive IEP progress reports in Oklahoma?
Oklahoma IEPs must include a description of how progress toward each annual goal will be measured, and when periodic reports on progress will be provided to parents. Progress reports must be provided at least as often as progress is reported for nondisabled children (concurrent with report cards, quarterly, etc.). If the student meets a goal during the IEP year, the IEP team should amend the IEP to address progress and include an updated goal. For transition goals, progress toward annual transition goals and short-term objectives/benchmarks must be monitored and reported to parents to demonstrate movement toward postsecondary goals.
