Complete a shortened assignment at full accuracy expectations

When to use this goal

For students with a reduced-workload accommodation whose present levels show even shortened assignments come back incomplete. Confirms whether the accommodation is enough. Present levels decide the length.

Baseline
Collect ten shortened assignments and calculate percent of required items with a response. If completion is high but accuracy is low, the problem is the skill, not completion. If both are low, the shortened length may still be too long.
Tips
Only the marked required items count in the denominator. Make the marking consistent (same color, same symbol) across teachers. As completion stabilizes, the team can lengthen the assignment through the accommodation review, not by changing this goal mid-year.
Limits
Depends on teachers applying the accommodation every time. Does not measure whether the student could manage a full-length assignment.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, given an assignment shortened to the number of items in the IEP accommodation, the student will complete the required items on the shortened assignment independently, completing at least 95% of assigned required items, on 8 of 10 consecutive shortened assignments, as measured by work-sample analysis collected daily and summarized weekly.

Baseline: 50% 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.

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.
