Assessment Format

• Each skill area includes:
  
  • A task objective (the specific student goal)
    
  • A descriptor: “Yes – the student performs independently and consistently” to define expectations.
    
  • Columns for Beginning of Year and End of Year scores (dates and progress notes to be entered by staff).
