Write own input for the summary of performance

When to use this goal

For exiting students whose summary of performance has a student perspective section and who would otherwise leave it blank or let an adult fill it in. Present levels in written expression decide whether the input is written, dictated or recorded.

Baseline
Score a first draft with the form only. Note whether the words are the student's; adult phrasing in a student section is easy to spot and defeats the purpose.
Tips
Use the one-page profile (tn-sd-024) and vision plan (tn-sd-041) as source material. The student decides what to include. Pair with tn-pse-016.
Limits
Only applies in the exit year. Rubric scores depend on the student's comfort writing about themselves.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, during the last year of school, given the student input section of the summary of performance and own transition portfolio, the student will write the student input section, describing own strengths, the supports that helped and own goals after school independently, earning a score of at least 7 out of 8 on a 4-row student input rubric (0 to 2 per row), on 2 consecutive drafts, as measured by a defined scoring rubric collected monthly during the exit year.

  • Met: Observable behavior. Stated as an action.

  • Met: Condition. Stated.

  • Met: Unit fits the behavior. Rubric score fits this behavior.

  • Met: Explicit criterion. Number and unit stated.

  • Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Both stated.

  • Met: Method produces the metric. Rubric scoring gives rubric score 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.
