Rate own readiness across transition areas
When to use this goal
For high school students who need to see where they stand across work, education, living, community and health before planning the next year. Present levels in reading decide whether the checklist uses words, pictures or both.
- Baseline
- Score the first checklist. Compare the student's ratings with family and staff views; differences are worth discussing, and the student's ratings stand as their view.
- Tips
- Repeat each semester and keep the ratings in the transition portfolio. Ratings feed the transition assessment summary. For self-determination skills specifically, use tn-sd-048.
- Limits
- Self-ratings are opinions. Few data points per year.
