Collaborate in an online breakout room

When to use this goal

For secondary students in online or hybrid classes who leave breakout rooms, go silent, or switch to other tabs once the teacher is out of the room. Fit depends on teacher drop-in data and the group task, not grade.

Baseline
Use the shared document's edit history and two or three teacher drop-ins to estimate how long the student worked before stopping. Record breakout length; the target cannot exceed it. Note the role the student had.
Tips
A role gives the student something concrete to do; rotate roles weekly. Keep groups small (two or three). The shared document is both the work and the data; it needs no extra recording.
Limits
Edit history shows typing, not talking, so pair it with drop-ins. Duration does not measure the quality of the student's contribution; use a group-work rubric (see bh-cls-023) for that.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, during an online breakout room with an assigned group task and a posted time limit, the student will work with the breakout group by talking, typing, or editing the shared document independently for at least 12 minutes, across 4 consecutive breakout sessions, as measured by duration recording collected each breakout session, from the shared document history and teacher drop-ins.

Baseline: 4 minutes.

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

  • Met: Condition. Stated.

  • Met: Unit fits the behavior. Duration fits this behavior.

  • Met: Explicit criterion. Number and unit stated.

  • Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Both stated.

  • Met: Method produces the metric. Duration recording gives duration 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?
