Free behavior data sheet set: frequency, duration and point sheet

A frequency data sheet counts how many times a behavior happens in a set time, so a team can see whether things are changing. Print the free set below, or make a duration sheet or a daily point sheet the same way.

A frequency data sheet with lines for student initials, recorder and week, a line to define the behavior, a tally table by day and time period, and lines for the week total and notes.

What it is

Frequency data works best for behaviors with a clear start and end, like asking for help or asking for a break.

How to use it

Write the behavior in words anyone could observe.
Tally during the same time periods each day.
Add the totals at the end of each period and the week.

Three quick tips

Define it before you count it.
Keep the time periods the same from day to day.
Use initials only on the sheet.

Questions

Frequency or duration?: Count it (frequency) when the behavior is short and clear. Time it (duration) when how long it lasts matters more.
How do I define a behavior?: Describe what you would see and hear, so two people would count the same thing.
Is this a finished assessment?: No. Like every SCAFLI data sheet, it is a draft for your team’s professional review.

A starting point for your own professional judgment. Use initials only on any page about a student.
