I finished my 4th week of documenting behaviors with the use of a
sticker chart. After all is said and done, my student averaged no
stickers on Mondays (he was absent 2 Mondays, we had no school one of
them, and this week Monday was not good), 3 per Tuesday, 4 per Wednesday
(absent one day), and 4 per Thursday.
I broke down my results
by activity as well. He earned 7/10 in free choice, 9 of 10 at rest
time (he is basically one on one with a teacher at that time), 5 of 10
for meeting time, 6 of 10 during centers, 2 of 10 at snack time, 6 of 10
at music time, and 2 of 10 at recess.
I know he does best when he
has the attention of one on one or small group with a staff member. He
has improved a lot in just understanding our routine and can remember
who he made sad each of the days he did not get a sticker. I think that
speaks volumes for his cognitive ability. Although, I still have to
find a way to reach him before he makes those "bad choices".
I
liked the use of the sticker chart and I am currently implementing the
same idea with another student. I am anxious to get to the point where I
can break her data apart by activity and day of the week to see if
there are any patterns. I also have a Kindergarten teacher who has
altered the same chart for one of her darlings. That teacher refers to
filling out the chart as their "business meeting". I've heard from the
specialists of the Kindergarten student, that they like the form as a
simple way to communicate with the parents, classroom teacher, and keep
it consistent for the child.
