When to use this goal

For students who finish work but leave it in the desk, hand it in without a name, or put it in the wrong place. Scores the turn-in routine as steps. Base the choice on checking the turn-in tray over several days. Completing the work is assignment-completion.

Baseline
Check the turn-in tray and the student's desk at the end of 5 days. Count assignments completed, assignments turned in, and papers without a name. The gap between completed and turned in is the baseline.
Tips
Put the tray in one place and keep it there. A name stamp or pre-labeled papers remove the first step for students who cannot yet write their name quickly. For secondary students, replace the tray with the digital submission steps.
Limits
Only completed work can be turned in; a low score may reflect unfinished work rather than the routine. Digital submissions need their own step list.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, when the student finishes an assignment during class with the turn-in tray or folder available, the student will complete the turn-in routine steps for the finished assignment, performing all 4 steps independently, on 8 of 10 consecutive scored assignments, as measured by a task-analysis checklist collected daily, each completed assignment.

Baseline: 1 of 4 steps independently.

Measurability check11 of 11 met
  • Met: Observable behavior. Stated as an action.

  • Met: Condition. Stated.

  • Met: Unit fits the behavior. Task-analysis steps fits this behavior.

  • Met: Explicit criterion. Number and unit stated.

  • Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Both stated.

  • Met: Method produces the metric. Task-analysis checklist gives task-analysis steps data.

  • Met: Review timeframe. Stated.

  • Met: Baseline and target compatible. Same unit, change in the right direction.

  • Met: Aligned with area of need. Still about Classroom Expectations & Routines.

  • Met: Level of support. Defined.

  • Met: Blanks filled in. Nothing left to fill in.

Checks structure and wording only. Whether the goal fits the student is the team's call.
