Report own goal progress at the IEP meeting

When to use this goal

For students who track their own goal data (tn-sd-003) and attend their meetings, and are ready to present the progress section themselves. Present levels in communication decide whether the student speaks, uses slides or plays prepared device messages.

Baseline
Score a practice meeting first. Record the response mode and which goals were presented so later scores compare the same thing.
Tips
Builds on fn-tr-007, which covers strengths, needs and a goal; this template covers the progress section. Let the student choose which goals to present first.
Limits
Real meetings are rare; practice meetings carry most of the data. A strong presentation does not mean the goals were met.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, during the annual IEP meeting or a progress review meeting, using own goal graphs, the student will present each annual goal, its data and whether it is on track independently, earning a score of at least 7 out of 8 on a 4-row progress report rubric (0 to 2 per row), on 2 consecutive meetings or practice meetings, as measured by a defined scoring rubric collected at each practice meeting (monthly) and at each IEP or progress meeting.

  • 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 Self-Determination.

  • 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.
