New to collecting behavior data? This beginner-friendly session will break down the essentials of behavior data collection in a way that’s easy to understand and apply. Participants will learn why data matters, what types of data to collect (like frequency, duration, and ABC data), and how to choose the right tool for different student needs. We’ll also explore simple, time-saving strategies for tracking behavior in real classrooms. Whether you're a teacher, paraprofessional, or support staff, this session will give you a solid foundation to support student behavior with clarity and purpose.
