How to add Goals & Objectives

This article will guide you through the process of adding goals for your students in Kit.

Updated this week

Adding your student's goals/objectives will help you target specific areas they need to improve for their IEP!

✨ Getting Started

Follow these steps to add goals for your students when setting up your caseload:

  1. If you haven't added IEP start/end dates yet, make sure to add that info by selecting 'Add IEP' and then enter the student's IEP details, then click 'Save IEP.'​

Click here to see a list of fields that can be added to the 'Student IEP' section

  • Eligibility

  • IEP Start Date

  • IEP End Date

  • Eval Due Date

  • Specially Designed Instruction

  • Duration (i.e. number of minutes/hours)

  • Frequency (i.e. number of times the service will be provided during a given time period)

  • Time (i.e. service provided daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly)

  • Location (i.e. school, virtual, push-in vs pullout services)

2. After adding IEP dates, navigate to the Goals page and choose one of the following options:


​Option #1: Bulk import goals using a CSV spreadsheet file


​Option #2: Copy/paste goals from your IEP software

Click 'Add your first goal to Kit' and then enter the following info:

  1. IEP Goal Text: A comprehensive statement of the goal as stated in the IEP
    (e.x. The student will improve his reading comprehension skills by identifying the main idea and supporting details in a text, given graphic organizers, scoring 80% accuracy on comprehension assessments over three consecutive assessments as measured by weekly reading comprehension assessments and teacher observation.)
    ​Note: This information appears in reports and when hovering over the goal in Instruction.

  2. Goal at a Glance (Optional): A brief 2-3 word description of the goal
    (e.x. identify main idea, multi-step addition).

  3. If you'd like to add objectives to a goal, click Add objective.

Once done, select 'Create Goal' and you are all set!
