Data Class
So we've been collecting data like crazy on one student. She is in the fourth grade, but in my self-contained special ed classroom. She leaves my room for two 30 minute sessions every day and joins another special education classroom for some higher academics. We love her, but we really enjoy that hour total of not hearing the word "poop." When we started collecting data, we heard the word "poop" 633 times in one day! After taking data day after day and trying to implement different strategies, we were able to cut that almost in half, depending on the day. We did an FBA on this student last week and came up with some really great strategies that we have been trying to implement, the most recent being an iPod with Disney music on it, which we started today. Let me just tell you that when I leave here this afternoon, my head will not be pounding and I've heard "poop" less than 100 times today!!! Now for us, THAT is success!!!!!

That is so exciting, Kari! In all the hype around OAKS testing right now, it is so important to take time to remember what are the successes for each of our students. I would be interested to hear more about the FBA that was completed and the specific strategies you guys came up with.
ReplyDeleteHooray for successes! How is it going after 3 weeks? Is the iPod with Disney music still working? What else have you been trying?
