Complete the action steps planned for the week
When to use this goal
For students who write good goal plans but do few of the steps. Fits once tn-sd-001 or a similar plan is in place; present levels in organization and time management decide whether reminders are set by the student or with help.
- Baseline
- Review 2 or 3 weeks of plans. A step counts as done when there is evidence (the email sent, the form turned in, the log entry), not only a check mark.
- Tips
- Steps are the student's own and should be small enough to finish in a week. When a step is missed twice, use tn-sd-004 to revise it rather than repeating it.
- Limits
- Percent of steps done depends on how big the steps are; keep step size steady. Outside events (illness, family needs) can block steps, so note them.

Baseline: 30% of assigned work.

Met: Observable behavior. Stated as an action.
Met: Condition. Stated.
Met: Unit fits the behavior. Work completion fits this behavior.
Met: Explicit criterion. Number and unit stated.
Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Both stated.
Met: Method produces the metric. Work-sample analysis gives work completion 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 Self-Determination.
Met: Level of support. Defined.
Met: Blanks filled in. Nothing left to fill in.

- Record how many assigned items were completed and how many were assigned for the defined work period.
- Percent = numerator ÷ denominator × 100. Round to one decimal place.
- Record the support actually provided, even if the goal is independent performance.
