INSTITUTE FOR EDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT GOALS AND
OBJECTIVES
2000-2001
NAME: Joey Smith
DATE: May 22, 2000
INSTRUCTIONAL AREA: Expressive Language
GOAL #1: The learner will engage in conversational speech.
Objective #1: LE.C.3 Target Response: Interaction
Response Definition: Interactions are defined as understandable
statements or questions that are unprompted by another person, that are
directed to another person by using his/her name or by orienting face
toward him/her, and that are separated from the speakers previous vocalizations
by a change in topic (i.e., a change in subject or object). If the learner
interacts and then immediately repeats the same question or sentence,
the repetition is not counted as an interaction. Single words (e.g., "chip"),
greetings (e.g., "Hit Cindy") and responses to questions or instructions
(e.g., "What?", "Okay", "No", and "Yes, I do") are not scored as interaction.
Statements such as "I want candy", "Can I have a donut?" and "I want bathroom"
are not scored as interaction the learner has already acquired skills
in using "I want" statements.
Measurement Procedure: Per opportunity measure. Data are summarized as
number of interactions.
Curriculum: Institute-developed curriculum.
Objective #2: LE.C.4 Target Response: Interaction
Response Definition: Interaction is defined as understandable statements
or questions (i.e., verbal productions that include a noun or pronoun
and a verb) that are unprompted by another person, that are directed to
another person by using his/her name or by orienting face toward him/her.
If the learner interacts and then immediately repeats the same question
or sentence, the repetition is not counted. Single words (e.g., "chip"),
greetings and good-byes (e.g., "Hit Cindy" and "Bye Cindy"), polite statements
(e.g.,"Thank you", "Excuse me", and "You're welcome"), and responses to
questions or instructions (e.g., "What?", Ito kay", "No", and "Yes, I
do") are not scored as interactions. Word for-word repetition of the recipient's
verbal behavior is not counted as an interaction. Partial word-for-word
repetition is not counted as an interaction unless the learner adds something
new to the statement or question (e.g., adds a new word, changes verb
tense, or reverses pronouns). Statements such as I want candy", "Can I
have a donut?" and I want bathroom" are not scored; the learner has already
acquired skills in using I want" statements.
Scripted interactions are those that match the most recently played
Language Master script, with the exception that conjunctions, articles
or prepositions, may be altered or deleted (e.g., substituting "and" for
"or", or dropping "the"), and verb tense can be changed. For example,
I play piano" is scored as a scripted interaction, although the script
is I play the piano. Adding the recipient's name to the end or
beginning of a script is counted as a scripted interaction.
Unscripted interactions are verbal productions that differ from
the scripts by more than conjunctions, articles, prepositions, or changes
in verb tense. The question "Where is Pat?" is scored as unscripted, because
the script is "Where is Greg?"; likewise, the question, "Do you like piano?"
is unscripted, because the script is "Do you like music?"
An interaction episode begins when a learner responds to a cue
in his/her activity schedule, and ends when s/he turns away, moves more
than 3 feet from the recipient, or does not speak for more than 15 sec.
Measurement Procedure: Per opportunity measure. Data are summarized as
