upcoming general education curriculum and the impact of the student’s disability. The Federal
definition of Measurable Annual Goals states:

designed to-(A) Meet the child’s needs that result from the child’s disability to enable the child to be
involved in and make progress in the general education curriculum; and
(B) Meet each of the child’s other educational needs that result from the child’s
disability;
(ii) For children with disabilities who take alternate assessments aligned to alternate
achievement standards, a description of benchmarks or short-term objectives;
