Users with the  Learn module permission, Instructional Templates enabled (Settings > Note/Instruction Templates > Manage), can manage the organization’s Instructional Templates.

Instructional Templates are program checklists or SD Sheets, and allow practices to establish organization-wide program templates for supervisors, to provide therapists with explicit instructions on how to run programming. Instructional Templates can be created and customized based on your needs. CentralReach also offers system Instructional Templates that can be used or leveraged to facilitate the creation of new templates. Instructional Templates are linked to goals and targets in Learning Trees, for supervisors to fill out with additional details to standardize teaching and ensure programming remains consistent.

   • Click the Criteria Type drop-down and select Maintenance, then click Add Criteria
     • Establish a number of times a goal skips a session data sheet (E.g. Goal reappears every fifth session)

   • • Click the + icon on the right-hand side of the phase
     • The Calculation Type and Criterion Value are the data point values that must be met to advance or regress within or across phases:
       • Click the Calculation Type drop-down and select If Greater than, If Less Than, If Equal, If Greater than or equal, or If Less than or equal
       • Enter the Criterion Value: the data point needed to meet the criterion – (E.g. 80%, 90%, 100%)
       • The Frame Type and the Frame Value are the spans of time, or the number of data points required for advancement or regression
         • Click the Frame Type drop-down and select one of the following:
           • • Consecutive Calendar Days: must be consecutive calendar days – (E.g. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday)
           • • Consecutive Days with Data Collected: days with data may be nonconsecutive – (E.g. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday)
           • • Consecutive Data Points: advancement based on data points collected in a row (potential to master a goal in a single day) – (E.g. Monday data point(s) 1, 2, & 3)
           • • Average of Consecutive Data Points: advancement based on average data points collected (potential to master a goal in a single day) – (E.g. Aggregation of Monday data point(s) 1, 2, & 3)
           • Consecutive Error Responses: number of failed trials in a row (within the data point) – (E.g. 5 trials and 3 failed trials in a row to regress)
             • • Regression: Generalization and Maintenance to Intervention (return to prompts)
             • Advancement: Baseline to Intervention (provide prompts)
               • May also utilize 1 consecutive data point – (E.g. 1 data point less than 80% to advance to intervention phases)
     • Enter the Frame Value: the number of data points or days specified in the frame type – (E.g. 3 days with data collected)
     • Click the Progress To drop-down to select the phase the criteria should progress to if the criteria value and time frame are met:
       • • Intervention

       • Provide phase label on session – (E.g. Mass trial, 1 distractor, etc)
       • Hold Goal: the branch will be put on hold if the criteria is met (supervisors will place the goal back on the data sheet when data has been reviewed)
       • Require two providers: advancement criterion required from two provider accounts
     • Mark as goal mastered: this will automatically mark the goal as “Met” when criteria is acheived
