Planning My Shift Task Box: Order Tasks, Gather Materials and Checklists, Ages 14 to 21

This planning my shift task box teaches students to gather materials first, put job tasks in a workable order, and use a shift checklist.

**Why I made this:** A student at a hotel job made eleven trips to the supply closet in one morning. When we planned his shift on paper, gathering everything first and doing rooms in order, he finished early. This box teaches that kind of planning.

**What’s included:**

• A 21 page PDF and an editable Word copy

• A teacher page with exact counts and a 2 week plan

• Level A ●: 12 near errorless "what do you gather?" cards with pictures, in 16 point type

• Level B ■: 24 shift order cards with 3 choices

• Level C ▲: 24 twist cards (a task needs another task first, a material is missing, a task is for later)

• A shift plan mat, a "planning rules at work" page, and a blank shift checklist

• 3 practice pages, an answer key with twists marked, a new executive function data sheet, a 10 session graph, a try it for real page with a 5 item adult check, and blank cards

**How to use it:** Read the planning rules together. Students work one level at a time with self check codes and the shift plan mat. Then give a real list of tasks and let the student plan, gather, and tick off the checklist while you use the adult check.

**Who it’s for:** High school special education teachers, 18 to 21 program teachers, job coaches, and paras building job site independence with students ages 14 to 21.

**Format:** PDF, US Letter, 21 pages, plus an editable Word copy. Level markers use a word plus a shape, so it works in black and white.

**How this is different:** Reading Work Schedules Task Box | Job Skills Functional Reading is about reading when you work. Supply Room Restock Work Task Box | Par Levels + Counting | SPED is about counting stock. This box is about planning the work inside a shift: what to gather, what order, and what to do when the plan breaks.

**Pairs with:** Reading Work Schedules Task Box | Job Skills Functional Reading; Supply Room Restock Work Task Box | Par Levels + Counting | SPED
