DATA COLLECTION AND PROGRESS MONITORING

2
What is Data Collection?

• Data Collection is an on-going process that
  provides a permanent record of student learning
  and the acquisition of new skills.

3
Why use Data Collection?

• Vital component of a legally defensible special
  education program
• Focus on accountability for programs and school
  personnel
• Teacher observation and anecdotal notes are no
  longer enough
• Collection/display of data make the progress
  visible for students who make small amounts of
  progress
• Tools provide information to school personnel and
  parents on the gains made by the students
• Analysis of data provides information regarding
  the effectiveness of the instruction and program

Where do we start..

• Good Teaching is
• Good Teaching

5
Instruction Differs From Student to Student

• Mild Mental Disabilities
• Access to the general education curriculum
• SC Curriculum Standards
• Significant accommodations and modifications
• Modeling Show and tell
• Pencil/Paper tasks
• Classroom-based Instruction
• Considered normal

• Moderate to Severe Mental Disabilities
• SC Alt. Assessment Standards and Measurement
  Guidelines (ASMGs)
• Functional Curriculum
• Use of concrete materials and objects
• Performance-based activities
• Community-based Instruction
• Normalization

6
Service Delivery System

• How to teach
• What to teach
• Where to teach

7
Objectives Should Be Defined Specifically!

• In order to implement data-based instruction,
  we must be clear about WHAT were going to teach
  and HOW its going to be evaluated.

8
Systematic Instruction

• Well- Specified
• Outcome
• Begin with the end in mind!

9
Systematic Instruction and data collection

• Collect Information About Student
• Performance To Revise
• Or Alter The Game Plan
• Higher Functioning Studentstests, projects, MAP
  scores, data collection
• Lower Functioning Studentsdata collection

Guidelines for Data Collection

• Forms included in student profile - information
  used for PLAFP
• Data collection area established in classroom for
  easy access
• All staff responsible for data collection
• Analyze data regularly to guide instruction

• Specific mastery criteria and measurable outcomes
• Individualized for each student
• Collection methods implemented across various
  times and settings during the school day

12
KISS

• Specific data collection methods do not have to
  be complicated or cumbersome.
• Keep it short and simple!

13
Observational Data Collection(Kid Watching!)

• Task Analysis
• Duration
• Latency
• Frequency/Rate
• Timed-Interval
• Anecdotal/Narrative

14
Task AnalysisWhat are the Steps?

• Task Analysis breaking a task into the steps or
  parts for teaching or checking student
  performance.

15
Task Analysis for Walking to Class
16
Duration RecordingHow Long?

• Duration recording record how long a behavior
  lasts

17
Duration Recording
Student Name Susan Conrad Target Behavior will
increase time on task to 15 minutes when checking
IEPs for compliance in 4 out of 5 work
sessions. Observer ESE Director
18
Latency Data Recording Sheet

• Latency recording How long it takes the student
  to respond to a request. Count the time between
  the request and when the student complies with
  the request.

19
Frequency RecordingHow Often?

• Frequency Recording
• Record or tally the number of times the behavior
  occurs

20
Frequency/Rate Recording
Student Susan Conrad Target Behavior will
decrease the number of times she overheats the
copy machine when preparing presentation
materials for 4 out of 5 teachers
meetings. Observer Aggravated ESE Office Staff
21
Timed Interval RecordingMinute to Minute?

• timed interval recording - at set time intervals
  (i.e., each 10 seconds, each 30 seconds, each
  minute), look at the student and record the
  behavior you see.
• Do this until you have at least 30 items
  recorded.

22
Timed Interval Recording

• timed interval recording - set time intervals
  (i.e., each 10 seconds, each 30 seconds, each
  minute),

23
Timed Interval Recording

• timed interval recording - set time intervals
  (i.e., each 10 seconds, each 30 seconds, each

24
Anecdotal or NarrativeAs it happens!

• Anecdotal or narrative recording - write down
  everything the student does or says, like a court
  reporter

25
We can no longerjust train and hope for the best!

• Teach the same old way and pray that the
  student gets it.
