Find and open a named learning app

K-2, 3-5Percent accuracyTemplateReview and individualize before use. How templates are made
When to use this goal

For young students who tap around the home screen until something opens, or need an adult to start every activity. Present levels in matching icons to pictures or words decide fit.

Baseline
Score each direction correct if the student opens the right app and gets back to home without help. Note whether icons are on the first screen or in folders.
Tips
Keep icons in the same place on the student's device while learning. Words under icons support early reading. Once solid, move to finding the class page on the learning platform.
Limits
Five directions is a small probe. App layouts change with updates; recheck after any change.

  • Met: Observable behavior. Stated as an action.

  • Met: Condition. Stated.

  • Met: Unit fits the behavior. Percent accuracy 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 percent accuracy data.

  • Met: Review timeframe. Stated.
