When to use this goal

For students in virtual or hybrid classes who join late, leave the mic on, or cannot find the chat or raise-hand button. Present levels in opening a link and clicking icons decide fit.

Baseline
Observe two or three video sessions, from the teacher's view, and mark each step. Some steps (chat) only happen if the teacher asks; score them done if not needed.
Tips
Camera rules should respect privacy at home; follow the school's policy. Families may help with the first steps, which the data should note. The same skills apply to telehealth and video job interviews later.
Limits
Internet problems affect performance and are not the student's skill. The checklist does not measure engagement during class.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, at the start of a scheduled video class, given the meeting link on the learning platform, the student will join the video class on time and set up the mic, camera and hand-raise tools, performing at least 6 of 7 steps independently, across 4 consecutive video sessions, as measured by a task-analysis checklist collected at each video session.

Baseline: 2 of 7 steps independently.

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

  • Met: Condition. Stated.

  • Met: Unit fits the behavior. Task-analysis steps fits this behavior.

  • Met: Explicit criterion. Number and unit stated.

  • Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Both stated.

  • Met: Method produces the metric. Task-analysis checklist gives task-analysis steps 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 Digital Literacy & Online Safety.

  • 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.
