Find a room using a school map
When to use this goal
For primary students who can point to rooms on a picture map at the table but do not use a map to get somewhere. Present levels in matching photos to places and in following a route with an adult decide fit.
- Baseline
- Pick five rooms at different distances and record whether the student finds each on the map, points to a route, and arrives without adult direction. An opportunity counts only when all three happen.
- Tips
- A school map is the first real map most students use and links map skills to independence. Keep the same map through the year. Students with vision needs may use a tactile map; the TVI or O&M specialist helps build it.
- Limits
- Familiar routes may be walked from memory; include a room the student rarely visits. The goal does not cover reading a map key or directions in the abstract.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, when given a simple school map with picture symbols and asked to lead the adult to a named room, the student will find the named room on the map, point to the route, and walk to the room while holding the map independently in at least 4 of 5 opportunities, across 3 consecutive weeks of data, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected weekly.
Baseline: 1 of 5 opportunities.

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 Social Studies Skills.
Met: Level of support. Defined.

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.

- 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.
