Ask "how did I do?" after a task

When to use this goal

For older students who wait to be noticed, then act out or shut down when no feedback comes, especially in classes or job placements with little praise. Fit depends on the FBA or behavior data, not grade. The skill is common at work and in college.

Baseline
Record five finished tasks: did the student ask for feedback, show the work silently, or do something else? Note what happened after the task (a problem behavior a few minutes later is a clue that recognition matters).
Tips
Tell teachers and supervisors the student is practicing this so they answer specifically and kindly. Critical feedback is fine if it is calm and short. The second behavior option builds toward self-evaluation.
Limits
Measures asking, not using the feedback. Some placements have supervisors who rarely respond; choose the placement for the early weeks with care.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, at the end of a class assignment or lab activity, the student will ask the teacher or supervisor for feedback on the finished task ("how did I do?" or "anything I should change?") independently in at least 4 of 5 opportunities, across 3 consecutive weekly data summaries, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected five finished tasks per week.

Baseline: 0 of 5 opportunities.

Measurability check11 of 11 met
  • 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 Replacement Behaviors.

  • 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.
