What is meant by “appropriate objective criteria” under GIEP development (section 16.32(e)(5))?
Objective Criteria would set the level, standard, grade, performance, the percent of mastery or completion expected. 19. Please define under section 16.41(b)(2) what “benefit meaningfully” specifically means. Benefit meaningfully means accomplishment of or significant progress toward the GIEP annual goals. A gifted student would have meaningful benefit when their rate of learning results in a rate of achievement. For example: A student is determined to need an acceleration rate that is 1 1/2 times faster than the average, that is the student would be expected to learn 1 1/2 years of new material in one school year. Meaningful benefit for that student would be achieving 1 1/2 years academic growth for one year spent in school.
