Launch shift tasks from a posted list
When to use this goal
For transition-age students in work-based learning who finish one task and then wait for the supervisor to assign the next, even with a task list posted. The student should be able to do each listed task. Present levels at the site, not grade, decide fit.
- Baseline
- The job coach records each task change point on one or two shifts: whether the student moved to the next listed task within 2 minutes without being told, after a point to the list, or only after the supervisor assigned it. Note tasks the student skips.
- Tips
- Six change points per shift is typical for a three- or four-task list; count what the site really has. Fade the job coach's distance before fading the checkbox list. Supervisors like this goal because it maps to self-direction on employer reviews.
- Limits
- Sites change task lists without notice; count only shifts with a list. Does not measure task quality or pace. For tasks given verbally, see ef-wm-016.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, at the start of a work-based learning shift, with the day's tasks on a posted or handheld list, the student will independently check the task list and begin the next unfinished task within 2 minutes without the supervisor assigning it in at least 5 of 6 opportunities, across 3 consecutive weeks of shifts, as measured by direct observation collected each shift, summarized weekly.
Baseline: 2 of 6 opportunities.

- Record up to 6 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.
