Write a weekly plan that schedules work sessions
Live goal preview
By the annual IEP review date, during a weekly planning session at the start of each week, the student will write a weekly plan that schedules work sessions for upcoming assignments and tests independently, earning a score of at least 9 out of 12 on a 4-row weekly plan rubric scored 0 to 3 per row, on 3 of 4 consecutive weekly plans, as measured by a defined scoring rubric collected weekly.
Baseline: 4 out of 12 rubric points.

Measurability check10 of 10 met
All structural checks are met.
Met: Observable behavior. The behavior is stated as an action.
Met: Condition. The goal states when or under what conditions the behavior occurs.
Met: Unit fits the behavior. Rubric score is a reasonable way to quantify this behavior.
Met: Explicit criterion. The success criterion is stated with a number and unit.
Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Mastery rule and collection schedule are stated.
Met: Method produces the metric. Rubric scoring can produce rubric score data.
Met: Review timeframe. The goal includes a timeframe.
Met: Baseline and target compatible. Baseline and target use the same unit and show change in the intended direction.
Met: Aligned with area of need. The wording still relates to Planning.
Met: Level of support. The level of support is defined.
What this checks: the goal's structure and wording, using fixed rules: observable behavior, condition, criterion, method, mastery rule, timeframe, baseline/target consistency, and support. It can't judge whether the goal is appropriate, ambitious enough, or legally sufficient for a particular student. That requires assessment data and the IEP team.
About this template
- Level guidance
- For students with multiple teachers and assignments whose present levels show work bunched up the night before it is due. Consider task complexity and current planning skills, not grade alone.
- Baseline considerations
- Have the student write two or three weekly plans with the template but without coaching and score each. Compare against class calendars to see which due dates were missed.
- Usage notes
- Write score descriptors for each row before scoring (for example, 3 = all items, 2 = most, 1 = some, 0 = none). Count a plan as useful only if it matches the actual calendar. Review plans briefly at week's end to connect planning with outcomes.
- Known limitations
- Scores the written plan, not whether the student follows it. Accuracy depends on teachers posting due dates on time.

Short-term objectives (optional)
When are objectives required?Federal IDEA regulations require benchmarks or short-term objectives only for students who take alternate assessments aligned to alternate academic achievement standards (34 CFR §300.320(a)(2)(ii)). Your state or district may require them more broadly.

- Score each sample with a 4-row weekly plan rubric scored 0 to 3 per row. Attach or reference the rubric's score descriptors.
- Use the same prompt type and conditions for each scored sample.
- If two people score, check agreement on a few samples before relying on the data.
