Overview
Student will be given a daily opportunity to assess their own behavior as well as the adult supervising student.

Proactive Implementation
Proactively establishing a self monitoring assessment means providing the scheduled time and opportunity for a student, group, or class to practice monitoring specific skills they have selected over the course of a chosen time.
Responsive Implementation
Responsively implementing a self monitoring checklist or assessment typically stems from a need to build awareness. The student should be introduced to the assessment as a science experient. Looking to identify patterns and trends.
Connection
If the need is connection then the student would work through their findings with a trusted peer or adult and converse about what they discovered.
Skills Training
If the need is skill building then the student should be required or coached to placing specific things on their assessment that will allow for tracking of that skill.
Awareness
If the need is awareness then the student should be given time to complete the self monitoring checklist throughout the day and be combined with a secret signal for cuing the student to track if they do not realize they are demonstrating the behavior.
Emotional Regulation
If the need is regulation then the student may combine with completing a breathing exercise, break, or other strategy after they complete an interval of their self monitoring checklist.
