Complete the study sessions written in the planner
When to use this goal
For students who write a study plan but whose present levels show the sessions never happen. Builds on a planning goal such as ef-pl-005.
- Baseline
- Compare the planned sessions for the last test or two with what the student reports doing, verified by a caregiver or by what was studied. Count sessions completed over sessions planned.
- Tips
- Each planned session is one opportunity. Met means the session happened on its day (or within one day) and is checked off with a note of what was studied. Keep plans to two or three sessions so follow-through is possible. Over-ambitious plans produce bad data and discouragement.
- Limits
- Self-reported with verification; home sessions depend on family support. Opportunities only exist when tests are announced early enough to plan.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, when study sessions for an upcoming test are written in the planner, the student will complete each planned study session on its scheduled day and mark it done in the planner independently in at least 4 of 5 opportunities, across 3 consecutive tests, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected each planned session and summarized per test.
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 Study & Test-Taking Skills.
Met: Level of support. Defined.

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.
