Overview

The Massachusetts DOE Countable Outcomes Policy gives us the opportunity to report many students successes such as "Get a learner's permit to drive", that are significant accomplishments for our students. This workshop has been updated to include information on the newest list of student goals now found on the student intake form, the current performance standards, and available resources. We encourage several people from the same program to attend so that the capacity of your program to manage the goal setting process will significantly increase!
