Define a Goal Plan

Create a Goal Plan

1. Decide what language skill to work on (receptive, expressive, imitation, instruction, fillin, question) Then pick a Check It tool. (use Find It for receptive and Say It for expressive, Imitation, Instruction, Fillin, Question )

2. Select a target type (noun, noun noun, color icon, preposition, verb noun, imitation, instruction, fillin, question, LRFFC)

3. Pre-test your student using "all targets" of the target type and the tool (Find It, Say It, Imitation, Instruction, Fillin, Question). This will help you find targets they do not know yet.

4. If your student has incorrect responses during the pre-test then select those targets when you create the goal so that you can teach them. You do this when you add targets to the goal by looking at the correct and incorrect response scores.

5. Use the goal and the tool to teach the targets until mastery is met.

6. Review student scores and select more targets to teach.

Each row in the table below represents a goal with elements of the goal plan. These are organized into 6 developmental stages. For example, S1-4 has the goal "say wanted objects". The target type of Noun and multiple categories will be used with the Say It tool to work on this goal.

The steps are:
1.  State the student goal.
2.  Pick the Target Type, Category, and Targets.
3.  Use the appropriate Check It tool.

This report shows an example of this S1-4 defined with targets. The Goal Group field is used to remind yourself to use the tool "Say It". You can use the Goal Group and Goal Description fields to suit your specific needs.
