Terms of use

Please read this before relying on anything on this site.

General information only

Goal Data Notebook publishes general information about progress monitoring for students with IEPs in the United States. It is not legal, psychological, educational, or professional advice of any kind, and reading it does not create a professional relationship. The calculators are teaching aids: check any result against your own records and your district's procedures before you act on it.

Rules differ and change

Federal rules set a baseline. States and districts add their own requirements, publishers update their measures, and laws and agency pages change. We re-check guides on a schedule, but we cannot promise that a guide matches the current rule where you work. Check the official source linked from each guide and confirm with your district, your state education agency, or a qualified professional.

No guarantee of outcomes

Using the information here does not guarantee any decision by a school, a district, a state agency, or a court. Examples on this site are illustrations, not real cases or real student records.

Use of the content

You may read, print, and share links to our guides for personal, non-commercial use. Please do not republish them in full without permission.
