Data Collection

Behavior Charts

Considering that everything is data driven, we thought we would give you a few examples of charts that can be used to monitor targeted behaviors.  The data that you receive is good to share with parents, students, administrators, and SIT teams. 

Important considerations:

     *Limit number of targeted behaviors
     *Start with the behavior that is driving you "crazy"
     *Define the behavior in measurable terms: instead of saying "on task", say "eyes on    work, followed along in book, eyes on speaker, produced work"
     *Collect a count of targeted behavior prior to intervention (baseline)
     *Determine meaningful rewards that will shape the desired behavior
     *Explain the chart to the student, parents, and all involved staff
     *Consistently collect data for at least 3-4 weeks

We tried to include at least 1 appropriate chart for each level (elementary, middle, high). All but two of these can be saved and modified to suit your specific needs...
