What kids do
“Write what happened before, during and after each behavior.”
Printed on the sheet:
- Behavior to watch:
- Behavior (what it
- Describe only what you saw and heard. Look for patterns in time, place, task and people.
Teacher tip
Write what a camera would see: “threw pencil, put head down” tells the team more than “got upset”. Ten or so entries usually show a pattern.
How to use it
- Keep it on a clipboard where the work happens so it takes seconds to fill in.
- Record right away. Notes written at the end of the day lose detail.
- Give help quietly and fade it fast: point before you speak, and speak before you move a hand.
Watch for
Student information left where others can read it. Keep these pages in a secure folder.
Talk about it
- What is working that we should do more of?
- What helped you do that by yourself?
