Rotate through a unified practice drill set

When to use this goal

For students on unified teams who stay at one drill, leave practice, or stop between drills, so they get little practice. Moving through a drill rotation on the coach's signal is a basic athlete skill. Fit depends on practice observation, not grade.

Baseline
Score each of the four rotations per practice for two practices: moved and started the drill, moved but did not start, or stayed. Note which drills cause stops.
Tips
Number the stations so the order is clear. Unified partners model the drills naturally.
Limits
Does not measure drill skill quality; pair with sport-specific goals.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, during a unified team practice with 4 drill stations and a rotation whistle, the student will complete the drill at each station and move to the next station on the whistle independently in 4 of 4 opportunities, across 3 consecutive practices, as measured by direct observation collected each station rotation at practice.

Baseline: 1 of 4 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 Physical Fitness & PE Participation.

  • 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.
