Using a daily behavior form...
Supplies valuable progress monitoring data
Gives an accountability tool for behavioral recognition
Defines clear target behavior to monitor
Overview
The student must assess self on given behaviors after each subject or period.
The student should be a co-author and conferenced with about the process. The form is either kept by the teacher or by the student and brought to the teacher at the end of the period.
The goals should be selected by the student and reflected on how they met those goals during the class period. The adult initials or signs that the conversation occurred not that they agree or disagree.
Teachers should contact the point of contact if there are major discrepancies.
Adult that supervised subject must assess student behavior as well. This may be done separately from the form or in certain situations it may be appropriate to do on the form as well.
Can be combined with CICO to allow for daily conferencing.
Core Components
Must be utilized as a conversation/discussion piece
Not meant to "check a box"
Targets are developed with the student
Consistently used, collected, & reviewed
Proactive Implementation
Proactively using a daily behavior form requires co-authored criteria to monitor for the student. The entire class may utilize a form for end of the day check out. This means a baseline and standard is established for if/when any issues occur. The student & family are familiar with the process.
Responsive Implementation
A behavior form may be responsivley implemented for a student, group, or class if awareness and communication needs to be increased. This may look like a student determining a set of growth areas to monitor and then designing a program that supports their growth in these areas.
Connection
If the need is connection then the student may share their behavior form with a CICO mentor, their families (combined with a communication log), or with a peer buddy.
Skills Training
If the need is skill building then the targeted skills should be what is monitored within intervals throughout the day.
Awareness
If the need is awareness then the student should receive feedback on each interval from the supervising adult during that time and converse about similarities and discrepancies.
Emotional Regulation
If the need is regulation then the student may combine with Zones of Regulation or other emotional literacy program to identify how they are feeling during the interval tracked.
