Walk between buildings on a split campus
When to use this goal
For students on campuses with an annex, portable classrooms, or a neighboring building used for some classes, who get lost or arrive late when classes are in the other building. Present levels in following routes and reading signs decide fit. The team approves the outdoor route as safe for the student.
- Baseline
- Record 8 trips: did the student take the approved route and arrive before the bell without help. The receiving teacher marks arrival; note weather and crowding.
- Tips
- Walk the route together before the term starts. Mark doors with the same symbol used on the schedule. Tell the receiving teacher to call the office if the student does not arrive within a set time.
- Limits
- Not for students whose safety plan requires an escort outdoors. Weather and construction change routes.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, when the schedule shows a class in the annex or portable building, during the passing period, the student will walk the planned route to the class in the other building and arrive before the bell independently in at least 7 of 8 opportunities, across 2 consecutive weeks, as measured by direct observation collected at each trip between buildings, summarized weekly.
Baseline: 3 of 8 opportunities.

- Record up to 8 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.
