Three essential elements to assessment: Expressed- Interview / Question Tested- Formal / Informal Demonstrated – Observation / Validation
Formal: Standardized, One Time, Norm referenced (Academic, Achievement, Cognitive, Aptitude testing), limited to evaluators
Informal: Student centered, on-going, can be integrated into a curriculum
(rubrics, checklists, portfolios, observations, work samples, situational, rating scales, interviews, work skills (including soft skills), learning styles, personality, preferences, can be completed by students, parents, employers, teacher input)
Assessment Strategies
One Goal in each area: Education / Training Employment Independent Living – if IEP team determines
appropriate
Goal statements: Measurable Outcomes Use action verbs, Relevant, Realistic Time framed (12-24 months after high
school)
Postsecondary Goals
Prepare annually for postsecondary goals Directly relate to education, employment
and independent living goal statements
How do we know the goals are reasonable and relevant? We will explore integrating industry standards in the IEP through a process defined as “Triangulation”
Annual Goals
John Paul Burden is joining us by phone. He is the Director of Exceptional Services,
Region 4 Colorado
He has been invited to share his experience of including Industry Standards (defined by O’NET, the Occupation Information Network) into the secondary transition IEP process

Standards

Goals more specific
As postsecondary and annual transition goals are written, they need to be realistic. Sources of information include:
Industry standards-O’NET and/or 21st Century SkillsCalifornia Career pathways
Language of goals should reflect California Common Core Academic Standards
Course of Study: Classes to achieve HS Diploma/Certificate and elective classes that relate to interests. Reference CTE Pathway descriptors
Are Goals Realistic? Relevant?
IDEA Defines Expectations
The following pages list the most common goal statements listed in IDEA.
It is important to note that schools are required to offer the services to assist students to set postsecondary goals and put effort into adequate preparation, but we are not responsible for the student achieving the goals listed in the IEP. We have no control over what decisions the students make after they leave high school.
