Do you need any tools to help you with collecting behavioral data? Data collection is collecting specific information about a student's performance. Typically we think of this in terms of academic performance. But what about data collection needed for behavior performance measurement? What do we do then? This 6 hour workshop will help participants: determine the best data collection method based on the type of behavior being measured; use a data collection guide which provides an explanation of each type of data collection method and how to summarize data; and understand basic information for preparing a behavioral graph.
This is the third of four Essential Trainings offered by the K-12 Behavior Support Specialists. Essential Trainings must be completed in sequence. After completion of ALL four Essential Trainings, participants are eligible to attend more advanced trainings on Instructional/Behavior Strategies and Programming to address moderate problem behaviors. Participants should bring a laptop, tablet, or other electronic device in order to participate in online activities as part of the training.
In order to increase preparedness for participation in future BX³ project initiatives, it is recommended that districts form teams that include an administrator, general education teacher and special educator that will attend the Essential Trainings. Participation in the 4 Essentials does not guarantee acceptance into the BX³ Initiative.
