This week I focused on collecting data for my project. I specifically used the frequency observation form and anecdotal notes. It has been interesting to see patterns in this student’s behavior. The data collection has allowed me to focus on times of the day when the student’s targeted behavior is more frequent and times of the day when it is less frequent. I have also spent some time talking to this student to try to understand where he is coming from. My conversation revealed some more background information about my student that could be affecting his behavior at school. My teacher and I have been sharing our observations and look forward to the continuation of this project. I hope to analyze the data more closely and find a modified behavior plan that will be beneficial for him.

Hey Kristen. It is great that you and your CT are working together to collect observations, as she will most likely notice different things because of her experience.
I hope you have a great weekend! See you Monday.

Kristen,
I didn’t really think about talking to my student to get more information on his behavior, although now it seems so obvious a thing to do. I will definitely have to start doing that, because I’m getting very confusing data from my student. Thanks for the idea and good luck on your project!

I think it’s great how much you and your CT are working together on communicating about collecting your data. I think this will be very helpful! I also like how you are trying to really understand where your student is coming from. I felt this approach also helped give me some guidance in my own project. Good luck with the rest of it!
