Share a news item during morning meeting
When to use this goal
For young students who pass during group sharing or share something unrelated to the sharing prompt. Base the choice on observation and family report. Sharing by speech, AAC, a photo with a recorded message, or sign all count.
- Baseline
- Record five sharing turns: shared on prompt, shared off prompt, or passed. Ask the family how the child tells about their day at home and in which language.
- Tips
- Each sharing turn offered is one opportunity. Passing is allowed in the class routine and is recorded but not counted against the student on days they say they do not want to share; agree on that rule with the student. Home-language sharing counts.
- Limits
- Sharing time may not happen daily. The goal measures one turn, not conversation. Pair with a family photo routine to make news easy to remember.

- 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.
