Presentations

I thought Dale’s presentation about the behavior side of RtI was very interesting. I especially liked the emphasis on “real data” regarding a student’s behavior…not just a teacher’s recollection and summary of how the student behaves. I agree that teachers in the later grades are not used to teaching behavior, and I can see how a few incidents (that may not occur very often) can lead to assumptions about a child’s behavior. The daily chart and calendar showing the hotspots of bad behavior would be much more useful in correcting/limiting the problem.

Thanks, man. The idea of the mathmatical measurement of behavior does cause some "aha" moments.
