Reach the unit count on a vocational task

When to use this goal

For transition-age students doing classroom vocational tasks (folding, packaging, sorting) who stop before the assigned count. Present levels, not grade, decide the count.

Baseline
Count units finished to standard for five work periods with the usual order size, and note when the student stops (a set time, a distraction, a supply running out).
Tips
Counting jigs or trays with a slot for each unit show progress at a glance and make counting free. Use real orders from a school enterprise when possible so the work has purpose. Record units that fail the quality check separately.
Limits
Quality checks matter as much as counts; a unit that fails the standard does not count. Supply shortages or a changed task can stop work for reasons outside the student's control.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, during a vocational work period with a set number of units to assemble or package, the student will finish the assigned number of units to standard independently, completing at least 90% of assigned units, across 3 consecutive weeks, as measured by direct observation collected each work period.

Baseline: 50% of assigned work.

Measurability check11 of 11 met
  • 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. Direct observation 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.
