When to use this goal

For students in work-based learning or a first job who need staff or family to tell them when they work. Present levels in reading names, days, and times in a table decide fit. Use the schedule format the employer uses (posted grid or app).

Baseline
Use 2 or 3 real or realistic schedules and 6 questions each. Note errors with times that cross noon or with shifts split across two rows.
Tips
Copying shifts into a phone calendar with alerts makes the reading count. Ask the employer to show schedule changes the same way each time.
Limits
Employer apps change; update the practice format. Does not measure arriving on time.
