Build up to a full-length shift
When to use this goal
For students whose placements are short (an hour or less) and who need to build stamina for the shift length of a real job. Present levels in physical stamina, health needs and regulation decide how fast the shift grows.
- Baseline
- Record how long the student works before the first unscheduled stop (asking to leave, a long rest, leaving the area) on 3 to 5 shifts. Note time of day and any health factors.
- Tips
- Grow the shift in planned steps agreed with the family and supervisor. Health conditions, medication and fatigue matter; involve the school nurse when needed. Stamina is about the shift, not about pushing through pain or illness.
- Limits
- Unscheduled breaks for health or regulation are always allowed and are noted, not counted against the student. Does not measure work quality.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, during a work-based learning placement with the shift length set by the supervisor and scheduled breaks, the student will work the scheduled shift with only the scheduled breaks independently for at least 180 minutes, on 4 of 5 consecutive shifts, as measured by duration recording collected at each shift.
Baseline: 60 minutes.

Met: Observable behavior. Stated as an action.
Met: Condition. Stated.
Met: Unit fits the behavior. Duration fits this behavior.
Met: Explicit criterion. Number and unit stated.
Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Both stated.
Met: Method produces the metric. Duration recording gives duration 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.
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.

- Start timing when the defined behavior begins and stop when it ends, using the definitions agreed by the team.
- The goal is reached when duration is at least the target (180 minutes).
- Note interruptions that weren't caused by the student.
