Check out and return shared classroom equipment
When to use this goal
For students who borrow headphones, calculators, or devices and leave them on desks or take them home. Present levels in following a sign-out system decide fit; the class uses a simple check-out chart or numbered slots.
- Baseline
- For 10 check-outs, record whether the item was signed out and returned to its spot before the student left the room. Note which items are missed; devices that charge in a cart are often left out.
- Tips
- Number both the item and its spot. Put the return check on the end-of-period routine (fn-rt-038). The same system works in job sites with tool sign-out.
- Limits
- Measures the student's part only; shared systems also need class-wide routines. Lost items may not be the student's.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, when the student needs shared headphones, a calculator, or a device, with a numbered check-out chart, the student will sign out the item, use it, and return it to its numbered spot before leaving the room independently in at least 9 of 10 opportunities, across 2 consecutive two-week periods, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected at each check-out, summarized every two weeks.
Baseline: 3 of 10 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 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.

- Record up to 10 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.
