Find the assigned testing room on test days
When to use this goal
For students who take tests in a separate room as an accommodation but go to the usual class or wait to be collected on testing days. Present levels in reading a schedule and finding rooms decide fit. The accommodation itself is in the IEP; this goal covers getting there.
- Baseline
- Record 6 separate-setting tests: did the student arrive at the right room on time with materials without being collected. Unit tests give more data than state testing windows.
- Tips
- Make the testing card the week before. Ask teachers to give the separate-setting test in the same room each time. Practice the route on a non-test day.
- Limits
- Does not measure test performance or the use of other accommodations. State testing gives few opportunities.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, on a state or district testing day, given a testing schedule card with the room number, the student will go to the assigned testing room at the listed time with the needed materials independently in at least 5 of 6 opportunities, across 2 consecutive testing windows, as measured by direct observation collected at each test given in a separate setting.
Baseline: 1 of 6 opportunities.

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. Direct observation 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 6 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.
