180-day school-year planner

This sample shows: a 180-day setup, different main subjects, source-based goal practice, care and outings, and adjustments over time.

Learner / schedule: Alex · Monday–Friday · 180 planned learning days in 36 groups of five.
First learning day: September 28, 2026. Breaks are entered separately and shift later learning dates.
Interests and supports: Gardens, picture stories, and music. Keep established AAC, comfortable positioning, and a quiet workspace available.
Current source: Fictional IEP goals: matching shapes, counting to five, following one-step directions, and communicating choices.
Other sources: A parent-created garden unit, a library resource link, and a fictional clinician note kept as a reference. A link is not automatically read by the planner.

One main curriculum starter per day, plus selected practice
Day / main subject	Curriculum starter	Goal practice / family plan
Monday · Art	Create a paper garden with selected shapes.	Choose colors using AAC. Parent records which parts Alex chose independently.
Tuesday · Math	Measure a favorite book with equal paper strips.	Match 2 and 4 to prepared picture collections. Speech appointment at 10:30; keep the afternoon flexible.
Wednesday · Science	Compare shadows cast by a block in two positions.	Follow a one-step instruction to place the block. Adult handles the lamp.
Thursday · English	Dictate a caption for a garden picture.	Choose the picture to describe. Library outing at 1:00; parent adds the book title afterward.
Friday · Geography	Draw a simple map from the learning table to the bookshelf.	Use a picture cue to carry out one direction on the route.

Speech: Tuesday at 10:30, entered as a recurring appointment.
Library visit: Thursday at 1:00, added as a field trip with an optional follow-up assignment.
Family break: October 12, entered as a no-learning date. Later learning dates shift.
Medical or therapy notes stay reference material. The planner does not invent treatment or prescribed exercises.

Recorded observation: September 30: Alex followed “put the block here” after a picture cue. Goal remains active and needs support.
Completed-day record: Monday’s completed work retains its original lesson and support notes when future settings change.
Later-year example: In week 18, a parent adds a new measurement goal and a museum resource assignment. The next week uses those updates; it does not rewrite completed days.
When practice runs out: The IEP practice bank is finite. Add a new educational goal, resource assignment, or custom activity instead of expecting unlimited distinct practice from one goal.
