Earn a classroom carryover rating from the teacher

When to use this goal

For students in the carryover stage whose classroom teacher can rate target-sound use during ordinary lessons. A short, defined rating scale gives the SLP regular class data without a separate observation. Base the choice on conversation data and the teacher's agreement to rate weekly.

Baseline
Meet with the teacher to define each score (0 = rarely correct, 3 = almost always correct) with examples, and do one rating together after the SLP observes a lesson. Collect two or three weekly ratings before setting the target.
Tips
The teacher scores each row once a week from 0 to 3. Give the teacher a one-page scale with examples and a quick way to send it (a paper slip or short form). Compare a few teacher ratings with the SLP's own observation to keep them consistent.
Limits
Teacher ratings are judgments, not counts, and teachers may not hear every error. Use alongside SLP-scored samples. A teacher who has little time may rate unevenly; shorten the scale rather than drop the data.
