Answer a teammate's question in a project chat

When to use this goal

For students who read but do not answer teammates' messages in group project chats or shared documents, so teammates think they are not doing their part. Present levels decide fit. Answers can be typed text, a voice note, or a comment in the shared document.

Baseline
Review a recent school-managed project chat and mark each teammate question to the student and whether they answered by the agreed time. Ask the student what gets in the way: notifications, not knowing what to say, or not having done the part yet.
Tips
Each teammate question aimed at the student is one opportunity. "I'm not done yet, I'll have it Thursday" counts. Agree on response times with the whole group. Use school platforms only.
Limits
Teammates who post many questions inflate opportunities; count questions, not messages. The goal does not measure the quality of the student's project work.

Measurability check11 of 11 met
  • 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. Opportunity (trial) recording 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 Peer Interaction.

  • Met: Level of support. Defined.

  • Met: Blanks filled in. Nothing left to fill in.
