Common Sense Strategies for Collecting and Analyzing Classroom Data

Skill acquisition and the reduction of challenging behavior is dependent on the evaluation of data collection. Designing a high-quality measurement system, is an essential early step in developing and evaluating a behavioral intervention (Fiske and Delmolino, 2012). Data collection measurement systems that are easy to analyze, are useful to accurately reflect changes in behavior and appropriateness of classroom goals. Therefore, considerations for designing efficient data collection systems for teachers is paramount. A review of simplistic data collection systems across the three-tiered system will be discussed. We will provide guide to help teachers select measurement systems for all tiers. At the conclusion of the workshop, the participant will be able to select behavior(s) to increase or decrease and determine a system of measurement that (a) produces accurate and reliable data, (b) captures changes in behavior (c) is efficient to collect in all classroom settings, and (d) is straightforward to evaluate.
