Action words on a job task list
When to use this goal
For high school students in work-based learning who follow picture task lists and are ready to read the action words themselves (fold, stack, wipe, sort, restock, label, count). Present levels decide the word set; use the student's real job tasks.
- Baseline
- Probe the words without photos first. Score reading and matching to the task together. Ask the job coach or supervisor for the words used at the site.
- Tips
- Reading the list builds independence from the job coach. Pair with a vocational goal for doing the tasks.
- Limits
- Task words differ by job; the set changes when the placement changes. Doing the task is measured elsewhere.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, given a printed task list for the student's work-based learning job with 8 action words, the student will read each action word aloud or with their device and show or name the task it means independently with at least 90% accuracy on job task action words read and matched to the task, across 3 consecutive work sessions, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected weekly.
Baseline: 35% accuracy.

Measurability check11 of 11 met
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. Opportunity (trial) recording 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 Sight Word Recognition.
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.

- 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.
