This document discusses using data collection tools to monitor and adjust a classroom management plan. It recommends using simple observation tools once or twice a month to determine which aspects of the management plan are working, if adjustments are needed, and if revisions to the plan are required. Several example tools are provided to collect data on student behavior, teacher interactions with students, the need for intervention plans, student performance, independent work time, engagement during instruction, and student and family perceptions of the classroom.

1. Task 2:
Use Data to Monitor and Adjust Your
Classroom Management and Discipline Plan
Once or twice a month, use observation
tools to collect data that can help you
adjust your management plan.

2. Tools
 Periodically use some simple data
collections tools to consider:
 Which aspects of your classroom
management plan are working?
 Do you need to make adjustments?
 Does your management plan need
revisions?

3. Example Tools:
Tool 1: Determine the degree to
which student behavior during
daily activities and transitions
matches your CHAMPS
expectations- these are your
expectations, are students meeting
them?

4. Example Tools:
Tool 2: Determine whether you
are interacting with students at
least three times more often when
they are behaving responsibly
than when they are misbehaving-
we will talk more about this later
but the behavior you tend to most,
is the behavior you will see more
of in the classroom

5. Example Tools:
Tool 3: Determine whether you
need to implement an
intervention plan or plans to deal
with specific types of student
misbehavior- are there some
students who may be in need of
early stage behavioral
interventions? Are you picking on
some students more often than
others?

6. Example Tools:
Tool 4: Determine whether student
attendance, punctuality, in class
work completion, homework
completion rates, and academic
work are satisfactory- another way
to determine who may be in need
of early stage interventions.

7. Example Tools:
Tool 5: Determine how
effectively your students use
independent work time- are
students working well during
this time or might I need to
revisit expectations and use a
class-wide motivation system

8. Example Tools:
Tool 6: Determine the degree to
which your students are engaged
during teacher-directed instruction-
might I modify my instructional
methods in order to create more
active student involvement?

9. Example Tools:
Tool 7: Determine how your students
and families perceive various
logistical and organizational features
of your classroom- Might I need to
communicate aspects of my
classroom more clearly?
