Invite a peer to come to a club or interest group
When to use this goal
For students who already attend a club and are ready to bring a peer along, building a connection that carries outside class. Present levels decide fit. Invitations can be spoken, written, texted, or shown on a flyer.
- Baseline
- With the student, list peers who might like the club. Track planned invitation chances over 2 or 3 weeks and whether the student invited anyone. Student report plus staff observation works.
- Tips
- An opportunity is a planned chance the student and adult agreed on. The invitation counts whether or not the peer comes. Celebrate any peer who joins. Never pressure peers.
- Limits
- Opportunities depend on planning and student report. The goal measures inviting, not friendship.
