  • Data Collection - Pocket Transfer
    Use your pockets and small objects like paperclips or pennies to take easy, on-the-move data., When to use: , This collection method allows you to stay focused on observing and accurately counting behaviors.  Use to track student behaviors or skills. Use for behaviors that happen throughout the day. Use for behaviors that happen during an active task where you need your hands free.  Best for taking data on how often a behavior happens (known as frequency data). , How to use: , Identify the target behavior and place a handful of paperclips in your left pocket.  Each time you observe the behavior, take one paperclip from one pocket and transfer it to the other.  At the end of the observation period, count the total number of paperclips in your “other” pocket and write that number on the data collection sheet of your choosing.

  • Data Collection - Sticky Notes
    Data is taken on sticky notes and then moved to a tracking sheet at a convenient time., When to use: , Use to track student behaviors or skills in a busy classroom environment.  Use for behaviors that happen throughout the day.  Good for taking many kinds of data.  Use to color code data to aid with organization. , How to use: , Place pads of sticky notes with writing utensils around the room.  Quickly grab a pad and writing utensil any time you need to record data.  Each time you observe the behavior, make a mark on your sticky note.  At the end of the observation, during a planning period, or at the end of the day simply peel the note off and place it on the student’s data collection sheet or transfer your data…, Tip: , Sticky notes can be peeled off and stuck to different surfaces multiple times. This means they can be applied to clipboards or folders and travel with you as you transition along with your student. , Variations: , Assign different colors to each of your students. Keep a number of each colored sticky note on clipboards around the room or that staff can carry. This may increase student confidentiality and aid in organization.
