Share a favorite activity at morning meeting
When to use this goal
For young students who do not answer when asked what they like to do, or who answer only with "I don't know". Present levels decide fit, not grade. Accept a word, a sign, a picture, an object brought from home, or a device message.
- Baseline
- Record 5 share turns or asks over a week, noting what the student said or showed. Ask the family for a list of activities the student chooses at home so photos can be ready. Score only what the student says, writes, signs, or does; never use a self-esteem rating or a mood scale as the criterion.
- Tips
- An interest that seems narrow or unusual still counts. Let the student pass on a share turn and come back. The family list is the best source for photos and objects.
- Limits
- Measures sharing in a set routine. It does not show whether the student starts conversations about interests with peers; that is a peer interaction goal.

- Record up to 5 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.
