Episode #65 The Art of Collecting Behavior Data
Managing behavior might very well be one of the hardest aspects of being a special educator.
Luckily, collecting data on those behaviors doesn't have to be difficult. And it's not the size of your data that matters!
It's how you use it!
Today’s guest is Caitlin Beltran and we're talking about all things dealing with the how, when and why of collecting behavior data, and then taking that data and learning how to interpret it to make meaningful growth with our students.
"You have to ensure to collect data on the same behavior (otherwise the data is useless)" - Caitlin Beltran
Listen in as Caitlin and I chat about:
- What behavior data is and what is it used for
- The different methods of collecting data
- What a data collection session looks like
- Some roadblocks to obtaining good data
- And The steps she takes to teach paraprofessionals how to take data?
