Growth Stages
The first stage of learning, focused on accuracy and correctness
What is Acquisition?
Used for skills involving discrete events, like tracking the number of times a student raises their hand.
What is Frequency (or Event Recording)?
The chapter recommends placing instruction in the least ________ setting possible.
What is restrictive?
Ensuring the goal defines criteria using specific, measurable terms to be _________.
What is clear criteria?
A method teams can use to create individualized scales that allow data to be collected and presented in the same way across goals and students.
What is Goal attainment scaling?
The stage of learning where the student performs the skill accurately and quickly.
What is Fluency?
Used when tracking the time a student spends engaged in a behavior, such as time on task.
What is Duration?
The environment where the student will naturally use the skill in the future.
What is the natural environment?
Ensuring the expected level of performance is relevant to future expectations is called ensuring _________ criteria.
What is practical criteria?
Times of day, subject areas, routines, physical spaces in the school or classroom that will be beneficial environments for measuring a student's progress.
What are settings for growth plan implementation?
The ability to perform a skill over time, even when instruction is withdrawn.
What is Maintenance?
Used to record whether a behavior occurs during a brief, specific time interval.
What is Interval Recording (or Time Sampling)?
A goal's ________ should always reflect this future setting and context.
What are the conditions (or context)?
This means ensuring the goal's criteria align with the typical performance of same-age peers.
What is comparably rigorous criteria?
A seamless part of everyday classroom activities and routines through shared responsibility.
What are support and assessment?
The stage where a skill is applied across different settings, people, or materials.
What is Generalization?
This measurement is a ratio of correct responses to the total number of opportunities.
What is Percentage?
A specific strategy used to promote generalization by varying the location, materials, or people during instruction.
What is programming for generalization?
The three steps to check if a criterion is well-written: clear, practical, and _________.
What is comparably rigorous criteria?
Teams carefully choose this, that makes sense and is practical for use in the general education setting.
What is one of the multiple ways to measure progress?
A key instructional goal is to reach this stage to ensure skills are useful outside the classroom.
What is Generalization?
Used to record the time between a cue (instruction) and the start of the behavior.
What is Latency?
This challenge occurs when a student only performs a skill with the specific teacher who taught it.
What is failure to generalize (or stimulus control)?
The chapter recommends using the general education peer group as a starting point to establish this type of rigor.
What is comparably rigorous criteria?
Ensures a measurable goal.
What is setting the scale before writing the goal?
