The behavior report card graphing tool allows educators to create progress monitoring graphs in seconds. This preformatted tool includes a trendline which projects outcomes over an extended period of time. The daily report card, as shown, is user friendly and allows for the student’s daily schedule to be separated into six time frames or subject areas. Record the targeted behavior in the column on the left underneath the goal category. You will see the example on the screen – the words “Target behavior” fall underneath the Goal category. Indicate the time frames or subject areas to be monitored above each column. In this example, the student’s day is separated into subject areas, beginning with Reading, Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies and P.E. The student has the opportunity to earn three points for each specified subject area. In this example the student may earn a maximum of 18 points per day. As you will notice, this student earned 15 of the possible 18 points. The raw scores from the daily report card are then transferred to the behavior report card graphing tool. This may be done on a daily or weekly basis. Record the name of the student, the targeted behavior being monitored and the maximum number of points possible at the top of the graphing tool. It is imperative that the maximum number of points possible each day box has a number value recorded in it or the graphing tool will not function. Enter a date in the week ending column and record the points earned for each day of the week. Enter a number in the number of school days this week column. This feature will adjust the data should a student be absent or should school be in session for a partial week. The graphing tool on your screen has four weeks of recorded data. Click on the targeted behavior tab at the bottom of the page. This will allow you to see the created graph including the trendline. The final step of the process is to save the file as you would any other excel document. This concludes the Behavior Report Card Graphing Tutorial.
