File documents in alphabetical or number order
When to use this goal
For students in office placements who can alphabetize single words but not file real folders by last name or number. Present levels in alphabetizing and reading names decide whether an alphabet strip is used.
- Baseline
- Use 20 practice documents with known places. Note whether errors come from names with the same first letter or from number order.
- Tips
- Use practice folders with fictional names for training; real records are filed only when the office allows and privacy rules are followed. Digital filing can be a later step.
- Limits
- Many offices file digitally. Accuracy on practice folders may not reflect a busy real drawer.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, given a stack of documents or folders and a filing drawer ordered by last name, the student will file each document in its correct place in the drawer or box independently with at least 95% accuracy on documents filed, on 3 consecutive filing sessions, as measured by work-sample analysis collected at each filing session.
Baseline: 50% accuracy.

Met: Observable behavior. Stated as an action.
Met: Condition. Stated.
Met: Unit fits the behavior. Percent accuracy fits this behavior.
Met: Explicit criterion. Number and unit stated.
Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Both stated.
Met: Method produces the metric. Work-sample analysis gives percent accuracy 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 Vocational & Work Readiness.
Met: Level of support. Defined.

- Score only items the student attempted unless the goal defines a fixed set of items. Use the same denominator every session.
- Percent = numerator ÷ denominator × 100. Round to one decimal place.
- Record the support actually provided, even if the goal is independent performance.
