Overview

The Massachusetts DESE Goal Setting Policy gives us the opportunity to report many student 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 and is designed to help teachers, directors, counselors, and other program staff understand and implement the Countable Outcomes Policy.

Details

This will be a blended learning event with a distance learning component in addition to a face to face component. 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!
