Arrive at class with a charged device and charger
When to use this goal
For students in one-to-one device programs whose present levels show lost class time because the device is dead, at home, or missing its charger. For students who can read the battery indicator.
- Baseline
- Record for two weeks whether the device was present and charged at the first class that used it. Ask the family where the device is charged and whether a charging spot exists. If the device is often left at school on purpose, the fix is a routine, not a goal.
- Tips
- Each school day is one opportunity. Met means device present, charged to the agreed level, and charger in the bag. Agree on a visible charging spot at home and add plugging in to the evening routine. A spare charger at school removes one failure point.
- Limits
- Battery health and home electricity access are outside the student's control; note these. Does not measure use of the device for learning.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, at the start of each class that uses the school device, the student will arrive with the school device charged to at least 50 percent and the charger in the bag independently in at least 9 of 10 opportunities, across 3 consecutive weeks, as measured by direct observation collected daily and summarized every 10 school days.
Baseline: 5 of 10 opportunities.

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. Direct observation 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 Organization.
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.

- Record up to 10 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.
