When to use this goal

For students whose daily report card scores drop sharply on substitute days. Uses the same rubric as bh-cls-022, rated by the substitute, so substitute days can be compared with regular days. Base the choice on the card on past substitute days. The routine for substitute days is bh-dir-023.

Baseline
Compare the student's average card score on the last 3 to 5 substitute days with regular days. If there is no gap, this goal is not needed. Put the card, the rubric anchors, and the student's plan card in the substitute folder so the rating is fair.
Tips
Substitutes rate with the same anchors as the regular teacher; the folder must explain them in a few lines. Keep substitute-day data on the same graph as regular days with a marker so the gap is visible. Pair with bh-dir-023 for the student's own substitute routine.
Limits
Substitute days are rare and substitutes vary, so the data are noisy and mastery may take a semester. A substitute who does not rate the card leaves a gap, not a zero.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, on a substitute-teacher day with the daily report card left in the substitute folder and rated per period, the student will meet the posted expectations (in the assigned area, materials ready, voice at the posted level, follows directions the first time) as rated by the substitute independently, earning a score of at least 6 out of 8 on a 4-row daily report card scored 0 to 2 per row and averaged across substitute-rated periods, on 4 of 5 consecutive substitute days, as measured by a defined scoring rubric collected each substitute day, averaged across rated periods.

Baseline: 3 out of 8 rubric points.
