Assemble an exit transition portfolio

When to use this goal

For students in their final year who will need key documents and contacts after school but have them scattered across adults and folders. Present levels in organization decide whether the portfolio is a binder or a secure digital folder.

Baseline
Check what the student can gather in the first month. Record which items exist but are held by others; getting copies is part of fn-tr-035.
Tips
Never store identity documents or Social Security numbers in a school portfolio; list where the family keeps them. The portfolio goes home with the student at exit.
Limits
A complete portfolio is only useful if the student uses it; ask them to find items during checks.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, during the exit year, given a portfolio checklist and a binder or secure digital folder, the student will gather each item on the exit portfolio checklist and organize it by section independently, earning a score of at least 8 out of 10 on a 5-row exit portfolio rubric (0 to 2 per row), on 2 consecutive portfolio checks, as measured by a defined scoring rubric collected monthly during the exit 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.
