Move to the next center when the rotation signal is given
When to use this goal
For young students who stay at a preferred center, go to the wrong center, or wander during rotations. Base the choice on current rotations. Transitioning on request in general is in following-adult-directions; this template is specific to a posted rotation chart.
- Baseline
- Record 5 rotations: moved to the correct center within 1 minute, moved to the wrong center, stayed, or wandered. Note which center the student was leaving; leaving a preferred center is the hardest rotation and may need bh-dir-007 alongside.
- Tips
- Keep the rotation order the same for several weeks and put the preferred center last or after the hardest one. Teach chart reading when calm. A student who moves to the right center but does not start the activity has met this goal; participation is a separate measure.
- Limits
- Only fits classrooms with a visual rotation system. Rotation counts per day are small; summarize weekly.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, when the rotation signal is given during center time with a picture rotation chart posted, the student will move to the next center shown on the chart within 1 minute of the signal independently in at least 4 of 5 opportunities, across 3 consecutive data collection days, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected daily, each rotation during center time.
Baseline: 1 of 5 opportunities.

Met: Observable behavior. Stated as an action.
Met: Condition. Stated.
Met: Unit fits the behavior. Opportunities fits this behavior.
Met: Explicit criterion. Number and unit stated.
Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Both stated.
Met: Method produces the metric. Opportunity (trial) recording gives opportunities 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.

- Record up to 5 opportunities per session, matching the goal's denominator.
- Define in advance what counts as an opportunity so every data collector records the same thing.
- Count only + marks toward the criterion unless the goal specifies prompted responses.
