When to use this goal

For students whose present levels show homework written in the planner but the book or worksheet left at school. Requires planner entries to exist; pair with ef-tm-002 if they do not.

Baseline
Watch pack-up for three days and score each step. The next morning, ask the family or check whether the materials came home and back. The gap between planner entries and packed items shows how many are lost at this step.
Tips
Step 2 is the heart of the routine: the student names the material for each entry (for example, math book for page 42). Score independent only if the student names and packs without the adult naming the item. Keep the checklist clipped inside the planner cover.
Limits
Depends on accurate planner entries. Does not show whether homework is done once the materials are home; see assignment completion goals.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, during the end-of-day pack-up routine with the planner open, the student will pack the backpack following the planner using the pack-up checklist, performing at least 5 of 6 steps independently, on 4 of 5 consecutive school days, as measured by a task-analysis checklist collected daily and summarized weekly.

Baseline: 2 of 6 steps independently.

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

  • Met: Condition. Stated.

  • Met: Unit fits the behavior. Task-analysis steps fits this behavior.

  • Met: Explicit criterion. Number and unit stated.

  • Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Both stated.

  • Met: Method produces the metric. Task-analysis checklist gives task-analysis steps 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.
