The purpose of this guide is to provide an overview of behavioral progress monitoring and goal setting to inform data-driven decision making within tiered support models and individualized education programs (IEPs).
This module discusses how to define, measure and monitor behavior. By the end of the module you should be able to:
Select an appropriate target behavior
Write an operational definition for a target behavior
Identify relevant dimensions of behavior
Choose a measurement system based on relevant dimensions of behavior
Use graphing conventions to create meaningful visual displays of data
This webinar challenges current thinking about how to set appropriately ambitious and measurable behavioral goals in light of the 2017 Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District decision by the United States Supreme Court. Dr. Teri A. Marx from the National Center on Intensive Intervention and the PROGRESS Center, as well as Dr. Faith G. Miller from the University of Minnesota—Twin Cities, share how to set ambitious behavioral goals for students by using a valid, reliable progress monitoring measure, and how to write measurable and realistic goals focused on the replacement behavior.
