Organize a workplace report in three paragraphs
When to use this goal
For transition-age students in work-based learning, internships, or jobs who may need to write an incident report, a shift summary, or a project update, and who now write it as one block with key facts missing. Present levels should show sentence and paragraph writing.
- Baseline
- Score two practice reports, each row 0 to 3. Note whether facts are missing or present but mixed across paragraphs, and whether the student writes opinions instead of facts.
- Tips
- Use situations from the student's real or planned workplace. Talk with the job supervisor about what reports they need. Workplace reports reward short, factual sentences.
- Limits
- Practice situations do not match the stress of a real incident. Workplaces use different forms; adapt the headings. Conventions are not scored.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, given a realistic workplace situation (such as a spill, a customer complaint, or a missing delivery) and a report form, the student will write a report in three paragraphs: what happened (who, what, when, where), what actions were taken, and what should happen next independently, earning a score of at least 9 out of 12 on a 12-point workplace report rubric, on 3 consecutive scored reports, as measured by a defined scoring rubric collected every two weeks.
Baseline: 3 out of 12 rubric points.
