Infused Skills Grid (includes examples for elementary, middle and high school)
Determining what, where and how to teach students requires much more than simply identifying a particular academic standard to teach, then developing lesson plans. For students who receive special education, completing an infused skills grid is a good way to highlight where and when during the school day it makes sense to practice, work on, or infuse a student’s IEP goals.

A Step by Step Process to Creating Standards-based IEPs:
Before developing IEPs, all IEP team members, including parents, should become familiar with the general education curriculum, including the state’s academic content standards and the state testing program. In order to make informed decisions about appropriate annual goals, supports and special education needs, the IEP team should consider how your child is performing as compared to the state’s academic content standards for the grade that your child is in.
