Free self-monitoring checklist

A self-monitoring chart for on-task behavior. At each signal, a quiet vibration or a tap, the student asks, was I working on my task, and marks it. An adult marks the same moments so they can compare and talk about it.

Checking My Own Work: when I hear the signal, I ask: was I working on my task? A row of ten signals for the student and one for the adult, then what helped.

What it is

A self-monitoring tool for on-task behavior, used in classrooms and behavior plans, for upper elementary through high school.

How to use it

Agree on the signal and the task before starting.
Mark at the same moments as the student.
Compare marks afterward and praise matching, not only checks.

Three quick tips

Start with short sessions.
Fade the adult row as the student gets accurate.
Use a vibrating timer so it's private.
