TITLE: Basic functional competency for blind students report
DATES: 1981.
ARRANGEMENT: None

DESCRIPTION: This report was initiated by the School for the Blind as part of the 1980 Staff Needs Assessment, to provide teachers an assessmentinstrument to certify student functional competency. The report defines basic functional competency, identifies levels of functional competency for the time a student is served by the school (school objectives and performance indicators), and provides follow-up procedures to determine progress of students who have left the school. The report includes a detailed listing of skills and knowledge that represent student competence in communicating, computing, and grasping the processes and structure of democratic governance; as a consumer of goods and services; functional competence as a problem solver; and competence in daily living skills. The report gives both the objectives of the school in each of these areas and lists the performance indicators by which to measure student progress.
