Pick shift tasks from a job coach's menu
When to use this goal
For students in work-based learning who can do several tasks at the site but always wait for the job coach to assign them. Present levels in communication decide whether the menu uses words, photos or both.
- Baseline
- Offer the menu for 5 shifts and record whether the student chose and announced a plan without the job coach assigning tasks. Note if the same tasks are always picked; that is a preference worth recording.
- Tips
- Every task on the menu must be one the site really needs done that day. Job coaches record the data and fade their presence at check-in as choices become routine.
- Limits
- Sites with only one task cannot offer choices. Choosing tasks is not the same as doing them well; pair with vocational task goals.

- 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.
