That phrase on IEPs — “80% accuracy in 3 out of 4 trials” — doesn’t actually measure mastery. On today's episode, Stephanie breaks down why this one-size-fits-all approach is a red flag, what it does to your data, and how to write mastery criteria that actually matter.
You’ll get real examples, reflection questions, and strategies for creating goals that guide instruction and track meaningful progress.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- Why “80% in 3 out of 4 trials” is vague and ineffective
- How mastery criteria impacts data collection and reporting
- Key questions to consider before writing any goal
- Examples of clear, actionable mastery criteria that reflect student needs
Writing clear, intentional mastery criteria changes everything: it guides instruction, aligns the team, makes data meaningful, and ensures every goal has impact. If your goals aren’t doing that, it’s time to rethink them — for every student, every skill, every day.
