Review own transition assessment results

When to use this goal

For high school students whose transition assessments (interest inventories, interviews, situational assessments) are summarized for the team but never explained to them. Present levels in reading and communication decide whether the summary is plain-language text, a chart or photos.

Baseline
Score the first review with the sheet only. Note whether the student recognizes the assessments by name; many do not remember taking them.
Tips
Postsecondary goals must be based on age-appropriate transition assessments (34 CFR 300.320(b)), and the student's view of the results belongs in that conversation. Disagreement with a reason is valuable data. Bring the sheet to the IEP meeting.
Limits
Few assessments per year, so few data points. The rubric scores the review, not the quality of the assessments.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, before the annual IEP meeting, given a plain-language summary of own transition assessment results and a review sheet, the student will summarize what the assessments say about own interests, strengths and needs and mark where the student agrees or disagrees independently, earning a score of at least 7 out of 8 on a 4-row assessment review rubric (0 to 2 per row), on 2 consecutive reviews, as measured by a defined scoring rubric collected after each assessment, at least twice a year.

  • Met: Observable behavior. Stated as an action.

  • Met: Condition. Stated.

  • Met: Unit fits the behavior. Rubric score fits this behavior.

  • Met: Explicit criterion. Number and unit stated.

  • Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Both stated.

  • Met: Method produces the metric. Rubric scoring gives rubric score data.

  • Met: Review timeframe. Stated.

  • Met: Baseline and target compatible. Same unit, change in the right direction.

  • Met: Aligned with area of need. Still about Transition-Related Skills.

  • Met: Level of support. Defined.

  • Met: Blanks filled in. Nothing left to fill in.

Checks structure and wording only. Whether the goal fits the student is the team's call.
