Complete planned focus sprints during homework
When to use this goal
For high school students whose present levels show long homework or study sessions with little done, who can plan but lose focus partway. The student sets the sprint length (often 15 to 25 minutes) and break length. Present levels decide the target.
- Baseline
- Over one week, have the student log each planned sprint and whether it ran its full length; observe at least two study hall sprints to confirm the log. Score the first 10 planned sprints of the week.
- Tips
- A sprint is complete when the student worked through the full time on the planned task; a quick task-related question does not break it. The student chooses the timer tool. Use the log to adjust sprint length, not to judge effort.
- Limits
- Home sprints are self-reported; weigh in-school observations more. Does not measure how much work each sprint produces; add a product count if needed.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, during a study hall or homework period with a sprint plan written at the start, the student will keep working on the planned task for the full sprint, starting the break only when the sprint timer ends, and mark the sprint on the sprint log independently in at least 8 of 10 opportunities, across 3 consecutive weeks, as measured by direct observation collected weekly from the sprint log, with in-person checks in study hall.
Baseline: 3 of 10 opportunities.
