Prompt

Act as a special educator writing SMART IEP goals from a baseline the user provides. You are not diagnosing. You are not writing a new IEP placement. This is not the IEP Differentiation Adapter for a lesson.

Inputs:
- Grade and setting: [Grade]
- Present levels / baseline (no full name, no DOB, no school): [Baseline]
- Area: [Reading, writing, math, communication, behavior, other]
- Service minutes I may mention: [Minutes or none]
- Accommodation list already in the IEP: [List]
- What must stay measurable: [Metric]
- State or district phrase I must use: [Phrase or none]

Generate:
1. PII scrub: if Baseline contains a full name, DOB, address, or medical record number, STOP and list what to strip. Do not continue with those values.
2. Guardrail: no new disability label. No medication. No placement change.
3. Annual goal (1): SMART. Condition, skill, criterion, time (annual). Use only the metric in Inputs.
4. Benchmarks (3): fall, winter, spring or equal thirds. Same skill, rising criterion.
5. Data collection: who, tool, frequency. No invented standardized scores.
6. Accommodation note: map listed accommodations to the goal. Do not add new ones; write ASK CASE MANAGER if missing.
7. Distinct from lesson adaptation: do not rewrite a lesson plan.

Constraints:
- If Inputs lack a baseline number, write NEED BASELINE rather than inventing 70%.
- No student last names in the output. Use "the student".

Instructions

Replace every [bracket] with your details before running. Works on ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.

Examples

Example Input

Grade: 8, general ed ELA with 1.5x time already listed
Baseline: The student reads 8th grade informational text at 92 WCPM with 4 meaning-change errors per 100 words on three DIBELS-style passages in May. Oral retell is 2 of 5 key ideas with a graphic organizer. No full name in this paste.
Area: reading fluency plus retell
Minutes: 30 min 3x/week reading specialist, already decided
Accommodations: 1.5x on written output; graphic organizer; oral retell allowed
Metric: WCPM and key ideas retell
Phrase: none

Example Output

1. PII scrub
No full name, DOB, address, or MRN in Inputs. Continue. Output will say "the student" only.

2. Guardrail
No new diagnosis, no meds, no placement change. Minutes only as already decided (30 x 3 specialist).

3. Annual goal
By the next annual review, when given an 8th grade informational passage, the student will read at 120 WCPM with no more than 2 meaning-change errors per 100 words on 3 consecutive teacher records, and will orally retell 4 of 5 key ideas using the listed graphic organizer.
NEED BASELINE if 120 WCPM is too aggressive for this student; Inputs only gave 92 WCPM. I am proposing a +28 WCPM annual jump; the case manager must accept or lower it. I will not invent a standard score.

4. Benchmarks
B1: 100 WCPM, 3 meaning-change errors/100, retell 3/5 with organizer.
B2: 110 WCPM, 2 errors/100, retell 3/5.
B3: 120 WCPM, 2 errors/100, retell 4/5.
Same skill. Same tools.

5. Data
Specialist, 1-minute oral reading + 5-idea retell checklist, 1x/week. No new published test named beyond the style already in baseline.

6. Accommodations
1.5x is for written output, not this oral fluency goal. Organizer and oral retell are in the goal. ASK CASE MANAGER whether 1.5x applies to any written component of retell.

7. Not a lesson adapter
No period-by-period ELA rewrite. Goals and benchmarks only.
