Behavior Frequency Form and Graphing: A Data Collection Tool for Behavior Tracking

Tracking student behavior is an essential part of teaching, but it can be time-consuming and overwhelming. Behavior Frequency Form and Graphing simplifies the process, making it easy to track behaviors that are easy to count and have a clear beginning and end.

Benefits of Using Behavior Frequency Form and Graphing

With Frequency Count in Excel, you can collect data for Response to Intervention (RTI), track Individualized Education Program (IEP) behavior goals, and progress monitor Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs).

What's Included with Your Purchase

Your purchase includes two behavior frequency forms, plus Daily and Weekly Excel Graphs through the 2025-2026 school year.

In addition to the forms and graphs, you'll receive:

• A Quick Overview of Common Data Collection Methods
• Quick Excel Tips to Make Data Collection a Breeze
• An Example Behavior Graph with Phase Line and Trend Line
• Instructions on How to Use Frequency Count in Excel

Using Behavior Frequency Form and Graphing

To use Behavior Frequency Form and Graphing, start by choosing your preferred behavior data collection sheet. You can use one of the behavior tracking forms included with your purchase or any other form that you prefer. Then, enter the data from the frequency recording sheet into the Daily or Weekly spreadsheet.

As you enter data into the spreadsheet, your graph will automatically be created or continued. This feature allows you to monitor student behavior and response to interventions with ease.

Enhancing Your Graphs with Phase Lines

For added insight, consider using phase lines to your graph. These lines can be added when changes occur (e.g., medication adjustments, classroom changes, living situations), aiding in identifying potential causes of behavioral challenges or improvements over time.

Graphs with phase lines are particularly useful when working with students under a Behavior Intervention Plan. They serve as a tool to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions. Instructions on how to use phase lines are included in your purchase.

Note: If the behavior occurs so often that getting an accurate count is impractical, consider using interval recording instead.

Compatibility

The graph will work in Excel or Google Sheets. However, you must use Excel if you want to enter phase lines because Google Sheets does not have this feature.
