Read body language and context in video
When to use this goal
For students who miss nonverbal clues in real-time interactions. Present levels decide fit. Body language is one clue; the situation and words count too, so students who do not read bodies easily still have routes.
- Baseline
- Use 10 clips with sound on. Score correct when the emotion or intention fits and clues are named.
- Tips
- Use clips with teens the student's age. Never use the student's own peers without consent.
- Limits
- Clips are simplified. The goal does not require the student to use body language themselves.

- 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.
