Ask before borrowing a classmate's things
When to use this goal
For students who take or use others' things (pencils, phones, snacks, chargers) without asking. Present levels decide fit. Asking is everyday consent practice.
- Baseline
- Record 8 moments the student wanted a peer's item and whether they asked. Note whether the student has their own materials; missing supplies may be the real problem.
- Tips
- Make sure the student has access to their own supplies. A peer saying no is a successful practice too.
- Limits
- The goal does not cover taking items in a way that needs a behavior plan. Opportunities vary.

- Record up to 8 opportunities per session, matching the goal's denominator.
- Define in advance what counts as an opportunity so every data collector records the same thing.
- Count only + marks toward the criterion unless the goal specifies prompted responses.
