When to use this goal

For students who finish work on a device but leave it unsubmitted, attach the wrong file, or do not press the final submit button. Base the choice on a review of recent unsubmitted work with the teacher.

Baseline
Observe the routine on at least 3 typical days before setting a target. Mark each step as independent (no adult prompt of any kind), completed with support (note the prompt type), or not completed. Count only independent steps toward the baseline, and note which steps are missed most often; those may need direct teaching rather than more practice. Compare the teacher's gradebook with the student's finished work during baseline to find how many completed assignments were never submitted; that number is the problem the goal addresses.
Tips
Screenshots of the actual platform make the step card usable. Practice submitting a low-stakes item first. Missing the confirmation step is the most common error, so teach it directly.
Limits
Platforms update their layouts; the step card must be kept current. Does not address the quality or completeness of the work itself.

Data collection

A routine is broken into ordered steps; each step is recorded as independent, supported, or not completed.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, when an assignment completed on the school device is ready to turn in on the learning platform, the student will submit the finished assignment through the learning platform, performing at least 5 of 6 steps independently, on 4 of 5 consecutive submissions, as measured by a task-analysis checklist collected at each observed submission, at least three per week.

Baseline: 2 of 6 steps independently.

Measurability check11 of 11 met
  • Met: Observable behavior. Stated as an action.

  • Met: Condition. Stated.

  • Met: Unit fits the behavior. Task-analysis steps fits this behavior.

  • Met: Explicit criterion. Number and unit stated.

  • Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Both stated.

  • Met: Method produces the metric. Task-analysis checklist gives task-analysis steps 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 School-Related Independence.

  • 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.
