Report to the adult after finishing an assigned task
When to use this goal
For students whose present levels show finished work left on the desk without telling anyone, so it is never collected or the next task never comes. Fits classroom jobs and independent work alike.
- Baseline
- For a week, note what the student does when a task is finished: reports, waits silently, starts something else, or wanders. Count how long finished work sits before an adult notices. Check the student has a way to report (words, card, or device).
- Tips
- Each finished task is one opportunity. Met means the student reports completion to the right adult within about 1 minute and before starting an unrelated activity. The done card is a support for students who do not yet use words to report; fade it to a raised hand or a short phrase.
- Limits
- In busy rooms the adult may not be reachable; agree on an alternate (place work in a tray and raise the card). Does not measure whether the task was done well.

- Record up to 6 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.
