Navigate a college campus with a map

When to use this goal

For students starting dual enrollment, a campus-based transition program or college who have only moved around one school building. Present levels in map reading and travel skills decide whether a paper map, a phone map or photo route cards are used.

Baseline
On the first visit, have the student lead to one building with the map and mark each step. Note whether getting lost leads to asking for help or to stopping.
Tips
Visit before the term starts. The O&M specialist leads route training for students with visual impairments. Asking for directions is a correct step, not a failure.
Limits
Campuses differ, so skills need practice on each new campus. Weather and crowds change difficulty.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, during a campus visit, given a campus map and a list of buildings to find, such as the classroom, library and accessibility office, the student will find each listed building and room using the map and arrive by the planned time, performing at least 6 of 7 steps independently, on 3 consecutive campus routes, as measured by a task-analysis checklist collected at each campus visit or the first two weeks of the term.

Baseline: 1 of 7 steps independently.

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

  • Met: Condition. Stated.

  • Met: Unit fits the behavior. Task-analysis steps fits this behavior.

  • Met: Explicit criterion. Number and unit stated.

  • Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Both stated.

  • Met: Method produces the metric. Task-analysis checklist gives task-analysis steps 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 Postsecondary Education Readiness.

  • 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.

Short-term objectives (optional)

When are objectives required?
