Explain own summary of performance

When to use this goal

For seniors and exiting 18 to 21 students who will receive a summary of performance and need to know what it says before using it with a college or agency. Present levels in reading decide whether it is read aloud and summarized.

Baseline
Treat each section as one opportunity. Record whether the student explained it in own words; reading it back word for word counts as no explanation.
Tips
Schools give a summary of performance when eligibility ends because of graduation with a regular diploma or aging out (34 CFR 300.305(e)(3)). The student's input section is in tn-pse-017. Colleges and agencies may ask for it, so the student should know what it contains.
Limits
Few sessions, and only once the document exists. Explaining the document does not mean the student uses its recommendations.

Goal

Baseline: 1 of 5 opportunities.

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

  • Met: Condition. Stated.

  • Met: Unit fits the behavior. Opportunities fits this behavior.

  • Met: Explicit criterion. Number and unit stated.

  • Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Both stated.

  • Met: Method produces the metric. Opportunity (trial) recording gives opportunities 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.
