- Guides our practice with a student/ gives us a
target.
- Permits progress monitoring
- Two assumptions of this presentation: - We will be adopting the CCSS as a state. - We will be continuing to require objectives.

General discomfort with the language of measurement and statistical applications We want kids to succeed, but we are afraid that they won’t. A poor reflection on us. Goal writing treated as an activity separate from a comprehensive process.

Overarching purpose is that the student is to improve engagement in general education curriculum. You are providing specialized instruction. Data should be linked to educational benefit. Baseline Data should be connected to Present Level Data. Progress Monitoring Data should be the same type of data that was used in the Baseline.

Guidelines when using standards…
• Who do the goals belong to? The student! • Look for key verbs and nouns • Do not restate the standard as the goal. • Think about the “prerequisite skills”
needed to make the standard happen. • Find out how standard is measured in the
general education classroom. • Look at standards across grade levels • Can’t address everything, look for big ideas
that get the most “bang for your buck”

Measurability Basics
• A student’s behavior has to be defined so that it can be
recognized reliably.
• There is a consistent unit of measurement that can be
compared (reported in the same way each time).
Oakland Schools 41
Measurement is at best- snapshots over
time…
Measurability Basics
Consistent Units (or criteria): • Duration (How long can Fred maintain attention to task X in
math?)
• Intensity (Using the XYZ scale of self-regulation, how intense does Renee’ become when she is upset?)
• Frequency (What is the percentage of times in a day does Johnny say “Hello” when someone says “Hi” to him first? How many incidents (e.g. hiding under desk) did Johnny have in math class in this 5 day week?)
• Latency/Speed (When the teacher hands her a worksheet, how fast can Betty get out her paper and put her name on it when the teacher has asked?)
• Accuracy (How many times out of 5 can Luann identify at least 2 strategies to calm herself down in a small group when asked?)
Oakland Schools 43
Adding numbers don’t make something
measurable… • Given 4 trials a week, the student will attempt ¾ of them
with 80% accuracy rate 9 out of 10 times.
• The student will bring his assignment notebook to class
daily.
Oakland Schools 44
If it can be made into a graph, then it is
measurable…
Oakland Schools 45
Data Collection Sources/Methods:
Most fall into one of these categories:
• Permanent Products
• Behavior Rating Scales/ Checklists
• Systematic Direct Observation
• Daily Report Cards or Logs
• Assessment Tools
• Remember that one measure can be tied to a number of
different aspects. For example, attendance/tardiness could be related to academic anxiety, physical illness, social anxiety, disorganization, impulsivity, etc.
Oakland Schools 46
Permanent Products 1. Definition: behavioral data that exists in the system.
2. Examples:
a. Attendance b. Discipline/suspension rates c. Homework completion d. Behavior plan data e. Grades f. Citizenship marks or remarks
3. Pros: a. Readily assessable b. Nothing additional needs to be done c. Highly relevant to school life d. Helpful when time and money are limited e. Useful for alerting school personnel of problems.
4. Cons: a. Doesn’t necessarily specify: duration, frequency, intensity and environment b. Might be superficial/ need additional information
Oakland Schools 47
Behavior Rating Scales/Checklists 1. Definition: questionnaires that ask an individual to rate a student based on experience. Range of specific to global measurements: attention, behavior, depression, anger, anxiety, strengths, skills, peer interactions, performance
2. Examples:
a. BASC* b. Child Behavior Checklist* c. Connor’s* d. Super Skills* e. Belini ASD* f. Emotional and Behavior Problem Rating Scale (Hawthorne) g. Skill Streaming* h. Regina PBS Play and Social Behavior Rubric- Kindergarten*
3. Pros: a. Good reliability and validity b. Require little training c. Inexpensive and time-efficient d. Best for pre-Intervention identification
4. Cons: a. Typically not given repeatedly- difficult to use to monitor intervention b. Not Sensitive to change over time c. Doesn’t address cause of change d. Sometimes ratings are not concrete or operationalized*
Oakland Schools 48
* Might require operational
definitions and frequency
measures.

• No universal agreement.
• From the Autism Social Skills Profile • http://www.ocali.org/up_doc/Autism_Social_Skills_Profile.pdf
• Circle N if your child never or almost never exhibits the skill or behavior.
• Circle S if your child sometimes or occasionally exhibits the skill or behavior.
• Circle O if your child often or typically exhibits the skill or behavior.
• Circle V if your child very often or always exhibits the skill or behavior
So How Often is “Sometimes”?
• From the Autism Social Skills Profile • http://www.ocali.org/up_doc/Autism_Social_Skills_Profile.pdf
How about?
• N- 0-25% of the time when needed
• S- 26-50% of the time when needed
• O- 51-75% of the time when needed

• ____4- more than once a month,
• Certainly True: • ____5- more than one time a week,
• ____6- more than once a day, up to once an hour,
• ____7- more than once an hour.
Another idea for progress monitoring: • From the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire
• http://www.sdqinfo.com/
• Take a subscale and ask for completion every month from
student or teacher:
• 1- not in my
presence,
• 2- one time in
several months,
• 3- up to once a
month,
• 4- more than
once a month,
• 5- more than one
time a week,
• 6- more than
once a day, up to
once an hour,
• 7- more than
once an hour.

Measurable Progress Rubric… At what level is Stu able to demonstrate skill X?
• Introduced: There is no evidence that the student has this skill.
• Emerging: The student is in the beginning stages of developing this skill.
• Developing: The student is showing some progress with this skill.
• Ongoing: The student is in the advance stages of developing this skill.
• Demonstrated: The student is able to show proficiency with this skill upon request.
• Applied: The student is able to use this skill independently to solve complex problems (e.g. someone yells at him on the playground and there isn’t an adult available).
Oakland Schools 58
Possible uses for a Rubric… • Levels of independence
• Degrees of assistance
• Degrees of generalization
• Gradients of criteria
• Stages/groupings of skill development
• Increasing difficulty of task
• Shaping of behavior

4. Pros: • Wide range of ages
• Promotes positive behavior
• Successful in promoting home-school
communication
5. Cons:
• Reliability and accuracy of data. • Time/manpower
Direct Assessment Tool 1. Definition: tool that evaluates the understanding, ability, or disposition of a
student; given directly to the student to complete
2. Examples: • Michigan Model Assessment of Socio-Emotional Learning
• Test of Pragmatic Language
• Self-rating scale: SDQ Measure, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale
3. Pros
• Yields a score
• Understanding of different areas of functioning from a student’s perspective
• May be standardized
• 4. Cons
• Ability to be repeated might be limited.
“I want my back to feel better”
A Physical Therapy example…
• 1. How much could the neck rotate each way?
• 2. How much strength is in both arms? How did
they compare with each other?
• 3. On a scale of 1-10 (10-being unbearable),
how much pain is there?
• 4. What activities cannot be done that used to
be done?
• 5. How frequent was the pain?

These are the GUIDING DATA QUESTIONS. They guide your thinking. If these questions are appropriate, then everything else will fall into place. Questions should be formed looking at Presenting Problem and making it measurable. Questions should be considering the skills that the student needs to learn. Make sure the questions may be asked over and over again to assess progress (can it be graphed over time?) Consider how the question will be answered (by observation, teacher report, log, rating scale, operationalized rubric, etc.) and by time frame, conditions and by whom.

Wayne couldn’t demonstrate any strategies when asked prompted by the SSW or the RR teacher.
So all together, the present level of functioning on the left side should look like this…
• Wayne frequently looks unhappy and doesn’t participate in class. Teacher reports that student frequently will not complete his work in math, writing and social studies. He appears very sensitive to criticism and the teacher can find few ways to motivate him. He will take hours to complete one assignment.
• More specifically, during the week of Sept 30, teacher reports Wayne completed only 66% or 14 out of 21 assignments in writing, social studies, and math. He completed 100% in science. The school social worker in an assessment interview asked Wayne about his sensitivity to criticism.

Keep in mind: Examples from others might be in a wrong format.
• Goals should be related to problem. If you have an objective about participating in group, then group participation should be the problem.
• Make sure it is relevant for the student.
• Use only one verb.
• AND means both conditions or pieces must be present.
• Keep it simple- don’t put in too many conditions.
• Try to make examples as concrete as possible. Can it pass the stranger test?
• The word “learn” is not observable. It is implied through behavior, so talk about the behavior.
