JASON

“after graduating from high school, Jason will enroll in a four-year college to obtain his undergraduate degree in history and education, to become a high school social studies teacher.” (1.5a)
1.5a: This is an example of a measurable post-secondary goal in the domains of education and employment.

Example:

After graduating from high school, Jason will enroll in a four-year college to obtain his undergraduate degree in history and education, to become a high school social studies teacher
- This goal meets I-13 standards for Item #1 for the following reasons:
  1. Enrolling in a four-year college is observable.
  2. Obtaining an undergraduate degree in history and education is measurable.
  3. Becoming a high school social studies teacher is also observable.
  4. The expectation, or behavior, is explicit, as in Jason performs the required activities or he does not, after graduating from high school.
  5. These goals logically must occur after high school (and it is stated that the goal will occur after graduation).
