Data Collection Decisions
What is the purpose for collecting data?
Set appropriate IEP goals and objectives based on baseline data of present levels of performance
Facilitate effective instructional decisions based on data
Communicate the rate and growth of student progress to parents or other professionals
3
Data Collection Decisions
What type of data will be collected? Frequency or rate Fluency Percentage or accuracy Duration Latency Quality Level of Assistance Number
4
Data Collection Decisions
Where will the data be collected?
Settings (classroom, home, cafeteria,
community, etc.)
Situations (during instruction, transitions,
free time, etc.)
5
Data Collection Decisions
How often will the data be collected?
Daily Twice a week Weekly Every other week
6
Data Collection Decisions
Who will collect the data?
Special education teacher Regular education teacher Paraprofessional Parent Related service provider Student
7
Data Collection Decisions
Example RWLS Standard 1.6.11A Listen to others, ask clarifying
questions, synthesize information to determine relevancy.
Given a job shadowing visit and a list of questions developed ahead of time, Adam will chart 100% of the
answers re: 5 aspects of each job with fewer than 3 prompts per visit.
Type of data – Number / Level of Assistance Where – job shadowing site in community How often – weekly Who – para-educator or special education teacher

Data Collection Decisions
Example
Math 2.1.3E Count, compare, and make change using a collection
of coins and bills
Ellen will pay the bus driver using the correct combination of coins and/or bills 5/5 trials over 3 consecutive weeks.
Type of data – Where - How often – Who -
Percentage or accuracy
On-site, in the communitydaily
Para-educator, travel trainer, teacher

Data Collection Decisions
Looking at Cork’s information, make your data collection decisions on one objective:
Type of data – Where – How often – Who –
11
Activity 1
Consider each data collection decision: type of data, where, how often, and who

data will be collected

. . . . provides a written description (narrative report) of a student’s behavior in a particular setting or time period. Used to identify specific behavior within some general disturbance; often used as a first step in recognizing specific behaviors and the related environmental events. (Ex. student is out of control constantly disrupts the class)

9:45 a.m.Sept. 5
1. Teacher to class “Get your materials out for English.”
2. Bill begins tapping his pencil.
4. B. continues to tap.
6. B. pulls his arm away.
8. B. throws pencil in the air.
10. B. puts his pencil on the desk.
3. T: “B, Please stop that. You are annoying others.”
5. T puts her hand on B’s arm.
7. T: “B, what did I tell you?”
9.Other students laugh +/- or stare.
11. T writes B’s name on the board.

. . . . directly and accurately reflects the number of times a behavior occurs. Suitable for behaviors that have an obvious beginning and end. Recording tools include: tally marks, checkmarks, abacus, hand-held frequency counters, stitch counters, smile faces, tokens, etc. (Ex. word recognition, coin counting, verbal yes/no responses, drinking from a cup.)

Activity 2
Look at chart from Activity 1
Determine what tool to use to gather data
Complete the “tool” column for each student
27
Representing the Data
Why Represent Data Visually?
Communicate program effectiveness to the
teacher, parents, student, etc. about: Instruction IEP Reevaluation
Provide reinforcement and feedback
Make decisions about continuing or improving instructional practices
28
Representing the Data
Appropriate representation
requires a graph to be:
Simple Stand alone Understandable
29
Representing the Data
Most common types of graphs used include:
Line Graph – used to reveal trends over time
Bar Graph – used to compare sets of values
30
Which is easier / quicker to interpret?

42
Evaluate the Data
Why evaluate the data?Effectiveness and efficiency of instruction
Who should evaluate the data?Teacher, Parents, Student, Others
43
Assumptions to consider before evaluating the data:
Teacher is implementing instructional strategies
Student is actively engaged in instruction
Aim line has been correctly identified based on
present levels of educational performance
Appropriate identification of annual goals and
objectives
44
Evaluate the Data
What to look for when evaluating the data…
Is the student making progress toward the goals and objectives?
“Rule of Thumb” – If 4 of the last 6 data points fall below aim line, student is not making progress
Baseline dataEstablished timelineEstablished aim line
How is the student responding to the intervention?Specially Designed InstructionInstructional materials and methods
45
Evaluate the Data: Some Decision Rules
Data Patterns Making progress. Errors flat or
decreasing
Progress stalled at 20%-50% correct.
Progress at or near zero. High error rate.
Interpretation Program is working
Student can perform some but not all parts of the task.
Task is too difficult.
Suggestion Continue present instructional program.
Provide more direct or intensive instruction in difficult steps.
Teach prerequisite skills.
46
Evaluate the Data: More Decision Rules
Data Patterns Progress stalled close
to goal, no increase in rate
Meets aim line
Interpretation Student is ready for
skill building
Successful instructional program
SuggestionProvide frequent opportunities for practice to increase accuracy and rate.
Implement maintenance and generalization programs. Move on to new task.
47
Problem Solving Routine: IDEA
Inspect the last 4 data points
Decide what the scores look like . . .
Variable? Going up? Going down?
48
Problem Solving Routine: IDEA
Evaluate why scores are this way
Attendance? Motivation? Instruction?
49
Problem Solving Routine: IDEA
Apply a change that might improve
achievement and trend
Select simple interventions first Move to moderate interventions if
necessary Move to intensive interventions as
needed
51
Making Instructional Adjustments May Mean . . .
More of something (and less of something else) in the same amount of time More of something and more time allotted for instruction Different instructional groups Different materials Different strategy Additional personnel to allow more time for guided practice at a later time
52
Levels of Instructional Adjustments
Look for simple changes first, before moving to more complex changes
Simple interventions Moderate interventions Intensive interventions
55
Level of Performance
What changes occur immediately after a program modification?
Is there an immediate step (up or down) that results from the new intervention?
57
Measurable Annual GoalDuring a job shadowing visit and given a list of questions
developed ahead of time, Adam will chart 100% of the answers to questions about five
aspects of each job with fewer than 3 prompts per visit.

Measurable Annual GoalDiane will be able to approach two of her regular educationteachers independently at least once a month and identify how her disability affects the way she contributes to class
discussion with a score of at least 3 on a teacher-made rubric.
