Compare weekly study minutes to the goal
When to use this goal
For high school students who set study goals but cannot say afterward whether they met them. Fits students who already plan study time (see planning and study skills goals). Present levels decide the size of the weekly goal.
- Baseline
- Ask the student to bring their study log for two weeks and complete the review without help. Score whether the total is correct, the met or not met statement fits, and a change is written when the goal was missed.
- Tips
- Each weekly review is one opportunity; met means a correct total, an accurate met or not met statement, and a change when it was not met. The change should be concrete (move Tuesday study to before practice). Keep the review short so it lasts.
- Limits
- Logged minutes may not be true minutes; spot-check now and then with a parent or study hall teacher. Time studied is not the same as learning.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, at the end of each week during a check-in with a case manager, using the student's own study log, the student will total the week's logged study minutes, state whether the goal was met, and write one change for any missed goal independently in at least 4 of 5 opportunities, across 2 consecutive grading periods, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected weekly.
Baseline: 1 of 5 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. 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 Self-Monitoring.
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 5 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.
