Use the raise-hand button before unmuting
When to use this goal
For younger students in live online lessons who unmute and talk over the teacher or classmates, so the lesson stops. Fit depends on observation of live sessions and the student's ability to find the button, not grade. Teach the button with practice before measuring.
- Baseline
- Record the first five times the student speaks in each of three sessions: raised hand first, or unmuted and spoke. Check that the platform's button is visible on the student's device; tablets often hide it.
- Tips
- Call on raised hands quickly and by name so the button pays off. If the student cannot use a pointer reliably, a hand held up in view or a chat emoji works the same. This is the online version of bh-cls-001.
- Limits
- Platforms differ; teach the student's actual platform. A family member's prompting at home can be hard for the teacher to see; ask the family to note it.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, during a live online lesson when the student wants to speak, the student will use the raise-hand button and wait to be called on before unmuting independently in at least 4 of 5 opportunities, across 4 consecutive live sessions, as measured by direct observation collected each live session, first 5 times the student speaks.
Baseline: 1 of 5 opportunities.

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.

- 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.
