Collecting Baseline Data Assignment
Overview & Rubric
Overview
In order to determine whether or not a student is making growth in an area, we need to first have data that determines their current level of functioning. This data is collected BEFORE any intervention (teaching strategy) is implemented. Once the target behavior has been identified and approved by the instructor, you will begin to collect data on this specific skill. This data will be measured in frequency or duration and will be charted in a graph as well as described. The data must be collected over a period of at least 5 data points (preferably over 5 consecutive days). The idea is to show a stable baseline. This might not be possible with the short duration of the course, so be sure to keep in contact with the instructor if you experience any difficulties so you do not get off schedule. Data will be reported in 2 ways: Line Graph and Narrative Form.
For this assignment, you will submit the two parts to the baseline data section of your Applied Project to receive feedback from your instructor.
Part 1 Line Graph
The graph may be embedded within the paper or included within the paper as an appendix at the end. There are several resources within this lesson to assist you with making a graph.You can also use the help feature of word (the little question mark that appears in the top right corner of your word document) to help you create a line graph.
Part 2 Narrative Form
In this section, you will provide a brief analysis of the data describing what the data mean and report any trends seen in the initial set of data.
**This assignment will be approximately two paragraphs in length and will include a line graph of your baseline data.

Graph Representation |
Graph thoroughly represents the data collected over the 5 data points, including exemplary representation of the identified skills/behaviors, as well as the frequency.The graph paints a clear picture of participant performance and the identified trends. |
Graph represents a general overview of the data collected, including representation of most or all identified skills/behaviors, as well as the frequency.The graph paints a general picture of participant performance and the identified trends. |

I am attaching the graph from their last 5 assessments. The students are in 2nd grade and will use an app or computer program like Spalshmath, IXL or XtraMath as a strategy and the assessment used to check for their accuracy will be completing 30 math facts in one minute with at least 70% accuracy. The students are in small group math where they are completing with 70% accuracy would be great for them in their improvement. The 4 out of 6 assessments will be a worksheets with different problems and they are doing 30 problems in 1 minutes the target behavior is to improve the students accuracy with their addition facts with sums 20.
