Present a career research project
When to use this goal
For high school students who have researched a career and are ready to share it with a class, family or the IEP team. Present levels in oral language and presentation tools decide the format (slides, poster, video, device messages).
- Baseline
- Score a short practice presentation to a staff member. Record the format so later scores compare like with like.
- Tips
- Presenting at the IEP meeting gives the team the student's own view of a career goal. Allow AAC and recorded presentations; the rubric scores content, not speaking style.
- Limits
- Few presentations per year. A polished presentation can reflect adult help; ask the student which parts they built.
