Behavior Documentation, Intervention, & Progress Monitoring/Graphing

Leigh Gates, Ed.D.February 13, 2012

While We’re Waiting for All to Arrive…

Please read through case study handout…focus on Tiers 1-2

- To become familiar with it

- To identify what you would have done differently

- To identify strong/weak aspects

- To identify questions about the case/documentation

AgendaBased on the informal poll last time, you wanted to

cover:

1.Behavior Complete documentation—Tier 3 Identify Interventions & Increase Intensity Case

Study Progress Monitoring & Graphing Behaviors

2.Google Docs What are your questions? Q&A Additional Resources

Just as a Reminder…All Behavior Serves a Function…

The FUNCTION drives the intervention:

1. 4 Main Functions Attention Escape/Avoid Power Self-Stimulatory

2. Behavior may LOOK the same, but serve DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS

4. The function is determined through data collection

Increase Intervention Intensity4. Tier 3 e (See p. 10-11)

Make changes to each intervention (Work Completion and Hands and Feet to Self) using 1 or more of the following: (See p. 12) • Curriculum, Instruction

• Program, Strategy • Setting• Motivation Strategy

Look at “Behavior Criteria” document (See p. 7) Did the student meet the performance criterion? Why? Why

Not? Can we tell if the student met the growth rate criterion? Why?

Why Not? Does instructional intensity resemble special education?

In the area of physical aggression, he continues to display physical aggression multiple times during the school day as indicated by the downward trend line. At this rate, the student’s trend line will not meet his aim line in the area of physical aggression in 18 weeks or less.

Trendlines

Explanation, Procedure, & Examples

Trend lines: How Do They Show Growth?

Line that you draw through a series of data points that represents the student’s actual rate of progress

If the trend line slope is flatter than the aimline, then adjust intervention

If the trend line slope is steeper than the aimline then adjust goal or area of intervention

If the slopes are the same make no change.

Finding the Slope of the Trendline:Tukey Method

Step 1: Divide the data points into three equal sections by drawing two vertical lines. (If the points divide unevenly, then group them approximately.)

Step 2: In the first and third sections, find the median data point and median instructional week. Locate the place on the graph where the two values intersect and mark that spot with an X.

Step 3: Draw a line through the two Xs and extend that line to the margins of the graph. This represents the trend-line or line of improvement.

Step 4: Calculating Slope

Third median point – First median pointNumber of data points – 1

Trend Lines and Entitlement Criteria

Used to determine how long it will be before the student’s skills are likely to be proficient

Required for Behavior Entitlement

Can be used for Academics as well
