Complete work ahead of a planned absence
When to use this goal
For high school students with planned absences (medical appointments, treatments, competitions, family events) who fall behind each time. Present levels decide fit. Planning ahead is a college and work skill.
- Baseline
- Look at recent planned absences and what happened with the work. Help the student list upcoming planned absences on a calendar.
- Tips
- Teachers agree on which work matters. Medical absences are never penalized; this goal only reduces catch-up stress. Score from the gradebook.
- Limits
- Some teachers cannot give work ahead; record that separately. Unplanned absences use the re-entry goals instead.
