(1)(a) A statement of measurable annual goals, including measurable short-term objectives

- Guides our practice with a student/ gives us a

target.

- Permits progress monitoring

- Two assumptions of this presentation: - We will be adopting the CCSS as a state. - We will be continuing to require objectives.

General discomfort with the language of measurement and statistical applications We want kids to succeed, but we are afraid that they won’t. A poor reflection on us. Goal writing treated as an activity separate from a comprehensive process.

• Some policies are specifically written in law; others are some interpretation.

• You should always follow your local district guidelines.

• Ask thoughtful questions about preferences of your directors or supervisors.

Overarching purpose is that the student is to improve engagement in general education curriculum. You are providing specialized instruction. Data should be linked to educational benefit. Baseline Data should be connected to Present Level Data. Progress Monitoring Data should be the same type of data that was used in the Baseline.

First…

• Expected to progress along with same aged peers.

• Goal is 1) remediation or 2) engaging in curriculum as much as possible.

• May use MI Health Standards and Common Core Standards in the IEP

• May consult CASEL/Illinois Standards, Michigan Model for Health, Occupational Skills or other frameworks for appropriate developmental expectations.

Guidelines when using standards…

• Who do the goals belong to? The student! • Look for key verbs and nouns • Do not restate the standard as the goal. • Think about the “prerequisite skills”

needed to make the standard happen. • Find out how standard is measured in the

general education classroom. • Look at standards across grade levels • Can’t address everything, look for big ideas

that get the most “bang for your buck”

Common Core State Standards

• What is it and Why? • http://www.commoncoreworks.org/Page/378

• Common Core is only ELA and Math

• All other expectations are still Michigan GLCE’s or HSCE

• Sometimes you need to look a grade below to understand how you might be involved.

2. ask for help when they don’t understand the

directions; and

3. accept constructive comments when they

might be making a mistake.

• Diagnosis or certification

• Guidance for intervention

• Goal Writing

• Progress Monitoring

Measurability Basics

• A student’s behavior has to be defined so that it can be

recognized reliably.

• There is a consistent unit of measurement that can be

compared (reported in the same way each time).

time…

Page 43: Meaningful Measurable Goalsc.ymcdn.com/sites/ · Meaningful Measurable Goals ... A statement of measurable annual goals, including measurable short-term objectives ... be related

Measurability Basics

Consistent Units (or criteria): • Duration (How long can Fred maintain attention to task X in

math?)

• Intensity (Using the XYZ scale of self-regulation, how intense does Renee’ become when she is upset?)

• Frequency (What is the percentage of times in a day does Johnny say “Hello” when someone says “Hi” to him first? How many incidents (e.g. hiding under desk) did Johnny have in math class in this 5 day week?)

• Latency/Speed (When the teacher hands her a worksheet, how fast can Betty get out her paper and put her name on it when the teacher has asked?)

• Accuracy (How many times out of 5 can Luann identify at least 2 strategies to calm herself down in a small group when asked?)

Adding numbers don’t make something

measurable… • Given 4 trials a week, the student will attempt ¾ of them

with 80% accuracy rate 9 out of 10 times.

• The student will bring his assignment notebook to class

daily.

Data Collection Sources/Methods:

Most fall into one of these categories:

• Permanent Products

• Behavior Rating Scales/ Checklists

• Systematic Direct Observation

• Daily Report Cards or Logs

• Assessment Tools

• Remember that one measure can be tied to a number of

different aspects. For example, attendance/tardiness could be related to academic anxiety, physical illness, social anxiety, disorganization, impulsivity, etc.

Permanent Products 1. Definition: behavioral data that exists in the system.

2. Examples:

a. Attendance b. Discipline/suspension rates c. Homework completion d. Behavior plan data e. Grades f. Citizenship marks or remarks

3. Pros: a. Readily assessable b. Nothing additional needs to be done c. Highly relevant to school life d. Helpful when time and money are limited e. Useful for alerting school personnel of problems.

4. Cons: a. Doesn’t necessarily specify: duration, frequency, intensity and environment b. Might be superficial/ need additional information

Behavior Rating Scales/Checklists 1. Definition: questionnaires that ask an individual to rate a student based on experience. Range of specific to global measurements: attention, behavior, depression, anger, anxiety, strengths, skills, peer interactions, performance

2. Examples:

a. BASC* b. Child Behavior Checklist* c. Connor’s* d. Super Skills* e. Belini ASD* f. Emotional and Behavior Problem Rating Scale (Hawthorne) g. Skill Streaming* h. Regina PBS Play and Social Behavior Rubric- Kindergarten*

3. Pros: a. Good reliability and validity b. Require little training c. Inexpensive and time-efficient d. Best for pre-Intervention identification

4. Cons: a. Typically not given repeatedly- difficult to use to monitor intervention b. Not Sensitive to change over time c. Doesn’t address cause of change d. Sometimes ratings are not concrete or operationalized*

Measurable Progress Rubric… At what level is Stu able to demonstrate skill X?

• Introduced: There is no evidence that the student has this skill.

• Emerging: The student is in the beginning stages of developing this skill.

• Developing: The student is showing some progress with this skill.

• Ongoing: The student is in the advance stages of developing this skill.

• Demonstrated: The student is able to show proficiency with this skill upon request.

• Applied: The student is able to use this skill independently to solve complex problems (e.g. someone yells at him on the playground and there isn’t an adult available).

a. BASC* b. Child Behavior Checklist* c. Connor’s* d. Super Skills* e. Belini ASD* f. Emotional and Behavior Problem Rating Scale (Hawthorne) g. Skill Streaming* h. Regina PBS Play and Social Behavior Rubric- Kindergarten*

3. Pros: a. Good reliability and validity b. Require little training c. Inexpensive and time-efficient d. Best for pre-Intervention identification

4. Cons: a. Typically not given repeatedly- difficult to use to monitor intervention b. Not Sensitive to change over time c. Doesn’t address cause of change d. Sometimes ratings are not concrete or operationalized*

Systematic Direct Observation

1. Definition: Method of behavioral assessment that requires a trained

observer to identify and operationally define a behavior of interest, use a

system of observation in a specific time and place, and then score and

summarize in a consistent manner. Focused nature and consistent

2. Examples:

Staying in seat, disruptive behavior, playing with objects, interacting with

peers, work completion.

3. Pros:

a. Gold standard: collected as behavior occurs

b. Reliable snapshot

c. Naturally serves several functions (assessment, monitoring, diagnosis)

4. Cons:

a. Drain on resources: time consuming

b. Multiple observations needed for reliability

c. Requires an independent observer

d. New presence might positively or negatively affect

b. Rating of behavior occurs frequently

c. Obtained information is shared across individuals

d. The card is used to monitor effects of intervention

2. Examples: • Check in or check out

• ABC log

• Scatterplot

3. Considerations: • Target behavior defined

• Rating frequency

• Type of scale to be used (number scale, tally's, time

measurement, etc.)

• Consequences

• Responsibilities

4. Pros: • Wide range of ages

• Promotes positive behavior

• Successful in promoting home-school

These are the GUIDING DATA QUESTIONS. They guide your thinking. If these questions are appropriate, then everything else will fall into place. Questions should be formed looking at Presenting Problem and making it measurable. Questions should be considering the skills that the student needs to learn. Make sure the questions may be asked over and over again to assess progress (can it be graphed over time?) Consider how the question will be answered (by observation, teacher report, log, rating scale, operationalized rubric, etc.) and by time frame, conditions and by whom.

So all together, the present level of functioning on the left side should look like this…

• Wayne frequently looks unhappy and doesn’t participate in class. Teacher reports that student frequently will not complete his work in math, writing and social studies. He appears very sensitive to criticism and the teacher can find few ways to motivate him. He will take hours to complete one assignment.

• More specifically, during the week of Sept 30, teacher reports Wayne completed only 66% or 14 out of 21 assignments in writing, social studies, and math. He completed 100% in science. The school social worker in an assessment interview asked Wayne about his sensitivity to criticism.

He couldn’t identify any strategies at that might help him get past that feeling when asked by the SSW and resource room teacher. He could not demonstrate any strategies either.

The underlined will be used in the baseline on the Goal Page.

• Wayne frequently looks unhappy and doesn’t participate in class. Teacher reports that student frequently will not complete his work in math, writing and social studies. He appears very sensitive to criticism and the teacher can find few ways to motivate him. He will take hours to complete one assignment.

• During the week of Sept 30, teacher reports Wayne completed only 66% or 14 out of 21 assignments in writing, social studies, and math. He completed 100% in science. The school social worker in an assessment interview asked Wayne about his sensitivity to criticism. Wayne said he often feels like the teacher might “bully” him (although she has never done so) and he is afraid to do the assignment wrong because

he’ll be laughed at. So he doesn’t try. Wayne couldn’t identify any strategies at that might help him get past that feeling (of being bullied). He could not demonstrate any strategies.

Keep in mind: Examples from others might be in a wrong format.

• Goals should be related to problem. If you have an objective about participating in group, then group participation should be the problem.

• Make sure it is relevant for the student.

• Use only one verb.

• AND means both conditions or pieces must be present.

• Keep it simple- don’t put in too many conditions.

• Try to make examples as concrete as possible. Can it pass the stranger test?

• The word “learn” is not observable. It is implied through behavior, so talk about the behavior.
