When to use this goal

For early elementary students whose present levels show one-page tasks half done when the period ends, on work they can do. Confirm the task is at the independent level. Present levels set the starting percentage.

Baseline
Collect ten recent one-page assignments and calculate the percentage of items with an attempted response. Note the time of day and subject; completion is often lower late in the day or in one subject.
Tips
An item counts when it has a response that addresses it, right or wrong. Scribbles and blank items do not count. If completion is low because the student starts late, use a task initiation goal first.
Limits
Percent completed says nothing about accuracy; track it alongside. Pages vary in item count, so percentages are more fair than raw counts.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, during a 15-minute independent work period with a one-page assignment at the student's independent level, the student will complete the items on the one-page assignment independently, completing at least 85% of assigned items on the page, on 8 of 10 consecutive assignments, as measured by work-sample analysis collected daily and summarized weekly.

Baseline: 40% of assigned work.

  • Met: Observable behavior. Stated as an action.

  • Met: Condition. Stated.

  • Met: Unit fits the behavior. Work completion fits this behavior.

  • Met: Explicit criterion. Number and unit stated.

  • Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Both stated.

  • Met: Method produces the metric. Work-sample analysis gives work completion 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 Assignment Completion.

  • 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.
