Goal setting
Definition
Setting a specific, measurable performance target, often with a deadline, and tracking progress toward it. It works best when combined with feedback and reinforcement for meeting the goal.
Example from a session
A supervisor and an RBT agree to raise correct prompt fading from 70% to 90% of trials within 3 weeks, checked weekly.
