Finish planned transition activities on time

When to use this goal

For students whose transition plan lists activities, such as touring a program, applying for an ID or meeting a counselor, that slip because no one owns them. Present levels in planning decide whether activities are tracked on paper or in an app.

Baseline
Review the last grading period's activities. Count only activities the student was responsible for; activities owned by staff or agencies are tracked separately.
Tips
Mark each activity with who is responsible when the plan is written. Report progress at the IEP meeting. Pair with fn-tr-025 so the student knows the activities.
Limits
Some activities depend on others (an agency appointment, a family signature); note those. Completion does not show quality.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, during each grading period, given a list of the transition activities in own plan with due dates, the student will complete each transition activity assigned to the student by its due date and mark it done with evidence independently, completing at least 80% of assigned transition activities due this grading period, in 2 of 3 consecutive grading periods, as measured by work-sample analysis collected every two weeks.

Baseline: 30% of assigned work.

Measurability check11 of 11 met
  • Met: Observable behavior. Stated as an action.

  • Met: Condition. Stated.

  • Met: Unit fits the behavior. Work completion fits this behavior.

  • Met: Explicit criterion. Number and unit stated.

  • Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Both stated.

  • Met: Method produces the metric. Work-sample analysis gives work completion 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.
