  1. Writing Measurable Post Secondary Goals Jane Winstead Director Transition Services Tennessee Department of Education

  2. How do I write measurable postsecondary goals? (MPSGs) • Use results-oriented terms such as “enrolled in”, “work”, “live independently.” • Use descriptors such as “full time” and “part-time”. • Consider where the student hopes to be approximately one year after high school.

  3. Do I have to write goals and objectives for MPSGs? • No. The MPSGs are goals for the student for after high school. You will not need goals sheets specifically for each MPSG. However… • You must have annual goals in the IEP that will reasonably enable the student meet their MPSGs.

  4. Measurable Post Secondary GoalsTraining • Example: After high school, I/David will enroll full-time in an on-the-job training program. • Example: After high school, I/David will enroll full-time in a plumbing apprenticeship program.

  5. Education • Example: I/Walter will enroll full-time at a technical college or university. • Example: I/Walter will be enrolled full-time at UT Knoxville in the teacher education program.

  6. Employment Example After high school, I/Riley will work full-time. • Example: After high school, I/Riley will work full-time for a construction company

  7. Independent Living Example: • After high school, I/Betsey will live with my parents at home. • Example: After high school, I/Betsey will live with adult assistance in a group home.

  8. How do I write MPSGs into EasyIEP? • Drop boxes are included to ensure the student’s goals for after high school are written in measurable terms. Select the most appropriate option from the drop box. • In the text box below, write in any specifics that individualize the goal for this student.

  9. After MPSGs are determined: • Develop a course of study that will reasonably enable the student to meet their MPSGs. (age 14) • Type into the transition services section, the activities, strategies and services the student will need to reasonably enable the student to meet his/her MPSGs. (age 16)

  10. Finally… • Make sure MPSGs are based upon age-appropriate transition assessments. • Include any new/additional transition assessments the student may need as a transition service and indicate the year the assessment will be done and by whom. • If the student’s MPSGs seem unrealistic – be sure to include in the transition services section or in goal sheets, opportunities for career exploration and further assessments. (see next slide)
