When to use this goal

For students who run in the library, pull books off shelves, change settings on lab computers, or do not check out or log off. Scores the routine as steps edited to the school's library or lab. Base the choice on the librarian's or lab teacher's checklist.

Baseline
Score 3 visits with the checklist. Note which step fails; handling and the end-of-visit steps are the usual gaps. A prepared book choice list or a bookmarked lab page removes the wandering that starts many problems.
Tips
Edit the steps to the room; a library without checkout or a lab with auto-logoff needs fewer steps. Give the librarian and lab teacher a 30-second checklist. Device-use expectations in the regular classroom are bh-cls-021.
Limits
Weekly visits make slow data; add a second visit when possible. Does not measure reading choice or computer skills.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, during a weekly library visit with the routine posted and the librarian briefed, the student will complete the library or lab routine steps, performing at least 5 of 6 steps independently, on 4 of 5 consecutive scored visits, as measured by a task-analysis checklist collected each visit, scored by the librarian or lab teacher.

Baseline: 2 of 6 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.

Short-term objectives (optional)

When are objectives required?

Required for students on alternate assessments (34 CFR §300.320(a)(2)(ii)); some states require them for everyone.
