Answer a classmate's question about the talk
When to use this goal
For upper elementary students who finish a talk and walk away, or answer questions with a shrug or an unrelated comment. Present levels and language assessment, not grade, decide fit. Students need to answer simple questions in conversation first.
- Baseline
- After two talks, record each question asked, the type (who, what, why, how), and whether the answer was related. Note whether the student lost track of the question; an adult repeating it may be the right first support.
- Tips
- Score each question as one opportunity; questions outside the topic of the talk are not counted. I do not know, I can find out counts as a related answer. Arrange for classmates to have a few question starters so enough questions are asked.
- Limits
- Opportunities depend on peers asking questions, so plan them. Does not measure the grammar of the answer; pair with a syntax goal if needed.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, when classmates ask questions after the student's class talk, the student will answer the question with a related fact or idea from their talk independently in at least 3 of 4 opportunities, on 3 of 4 consecutive presentation probes, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected every two weeks.
Baseline: 1 of 4 opportunities.

Met: Observable behavior. Stated as an action.
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.
Met: Aligned with area of need. Still about Oral Presentation & Public Speaking.
Met: Level of support. Defined.
Met: Blanks filled in. Nothing left to fill in.
Checks structure and wording only. Whether the goal fits the student is the team's call.

- Record up to 4 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.
