Complete a multi-step direction on the class platform

When to use this goal

For students whose present levels show digital tasks (open the assignment, complete it, attach the file, submit) end after the first step. Fits classes using a learning platform.

Baseline
Review the last several digital tasks on the platform: which step was last completed? Many students stop before attaching or submitting. Confirm the student can navigate the platform; if not, that is the first lesson.
Tips
Each multi-step digital task is one opportunity. Met means every step is done and the platform shows the work submitted. Keep the step list wording the same as the platform's button labels so the list maps to the screen.
Limits
Platform changes break step lists; update them. Does not measure the quality of the work.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, when given a three- to four-step direction for a digital assignment (open, complete, attach, submit), the student will complete every step of the digital direction in order so the work is submitted independently in at least 4 of 5 opportunities, across 3 consecutive weekly probes, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected weekly.

Baseline: 2 of 5 opportunities.

Measurability check11 of 11 met
  • Met: Observable behavior. Stated as an action.

  • Met: Condition. Stated.

  • Met: Unit fits the behavior. Opportunities fits this behavior.

  • Met: Explicit criterion. Number and unit stated.

  • Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Both stated.

  • Met: Method produces the metric. Opportunity (trial) recording gives opportunities 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 Following Multi-Step Directions.

  • 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?
