Get an adult right away when a peer is hurt

When to use this goal

For students who stay by a hurt or sick peer, try to fix the problem themselves, or walk away without telling anyone. Present levels decide fit. Telling can be spoken, signed, a help card, or leading the adult to the peer.

Baseline
Use 5 short role-plays with pictures or a pretend injury to see what the student does. Ask recess staff about real events. Check that the student can name or show who the safe adults are.
Tips
This is a safety skill, so the target is every opportunity. Score correct when the student reaches an adult and shows or tells where the peer is. Keep role-plays calm and short. The goal does not replace adult supervision or school safety plans.
Limits
Real events are rare, so most data come from practice; label it. The goal does not teach first aid.

  • 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.
