Work phone script read aloud accurately

When to use this goal

For high school students in work-based learning who will read short scripts aloud (taking a phone message, greeting a customer, a call-in for an absence) and who stumble on names, numbers, or business words. Script level comes from present levels; scripts can be adapted.

Baseline
Use three different scripts with a similar mix of names and numbers. Record errors on names, numbers, and general words separately; numbers are often the hardest. Note whether the student reads phone numbers in groups.
Tips
Ties fluency to a transition goal and to the student's work interests. Students who use AAC can program the script and play it, with a separate goal for that; this goal is for students reading aloud.
Limits
Scripts are short, so a single error changes the percent noticeably. Role plays are easier than a live phone call; generalize to real settings before calling it mastered.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, during a role play, given an unpracticed 60- to 100-word work script with names, times, and a phone number, the student will read the script aloud to the listener, including names, times, and numbers independently with at least 98% accuracy on words and numbers read in the script, on 3 of 4 consecutive scored role plays, as measured by curriculum-based measurement probes collected weekly.

Baseline: 85% 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. Curriculum-based measurement 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 Reading Fluency.

  • 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.
