Spot signs of a healthy friendship
When to use this goal
For students who stay in friendships where they are used, mocked, or pressured, or who are unsure what a good friend does. Present levels decide fit.
- Baseline
- Use 10 scenarios with a mix of healthy and unhealthy signs. Score each judgment and reason.
- Tips
- The student decides which friendships to keep; the goal gives tools, not rules. Talk about friendships only when the student is willing.
- Limits
- Scenario answers do not show changes in real friendships. Students being exploited need adult protection and follow-up through school procedures.

Goal

Baseline: 50% accuracy.

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.

- 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.
