Gather recipe ingredients from a written list

When to use this goal

For students who follow a recipe's steps with help (fn-fa-008) but need staff to set out the ingredients. Present levels in reading food words or icons decide fit. The list format (words, words with photos, icons) follows the student's reading level.

Baseline
For 3 lessons, count the ingredients gathered correctly from 6 on the list without a prompt. Note whether misses come from reading the word or from finding the item in the kitchen.
Tips
Label cupboards to start, then fade labels. Similar items (salt and sugar, baking soda and baking powder) are worth extra teaching. The same skill applies to stocking at work.
Limits
Measures gathering only, not measuring or cooking. Kitchens that are rearranged often add a search problem.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, before a cooking lesson, given an ingredient list of 6 items and a stocked classroom kitchen, the student will read each ingredient on the list and set it out on the counter independently on 6 of 6 items, across 3 consecutive cooking lessons, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected at each cooking lesson.

Baseline: 2 of 6 opportunities.

Measurability check11 of 11 met
  • 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 Functional Academics.

  • 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?
