What you’ll take away

Three things you’ll learn

Recognize why an accurate behavior count can still answer the wrong question, and identify which question a teacher is actually trying to answer.
Apply a measurement decision framework, adapted from the behavior-analytic literature, to choose among frequency, rate, interval, and duration for a specific student and behavior.
Examine the observer assumption built into every measurement method, and what that assumption costs in a classroom with twenty-two other students.
