Special Education Student Observation Form: What Is It?

A Special Education Student Observation Form refers to a written document prepared to assess the progress of a student attending a special needs school. Whether you have noticed a student is struggling with something or you want to point out their achievements, it is very important for the school administration, teaching staff, and parents or legal guardians of the student to have fair and transparent communication to improve the quality of the education and make sure the needs of every student are met - one of the tools that will help you to do that is an evaluation carried out in a special needs school.

You may download a Special Education Student Observation template through the link below .

You need to identify yourself and the student you are evaluating, list the skills related to their academic performance and behavior in class, rate them using a scale adopted in your institution (you may use a five-point rating scale or express your opinion with words like excellent, good, or satisfactory), and add remarks in the comment field if you believe a traditional scale will not properly reflect your judgment.

Classroom observation is an accountability practice which promotes the evaluation of teachers’ capacity to meet standards, improve teaching practices, and enhance student learning outcomes. Prior research has revealed that these practices are not without bias: the reliability of observation can be challenged because of classroom or observer characteristics. Unlike general education learning environments, much less is known about the reliability of observing classrooms that service students with disabilities. In this study, we evaluated the reliability of special-education classroom observation by school personnel. Using a systematic scorer design modeled after the MET Project, we examined different combinations of observers (special educator, school leader, paraprofessional, and researcher) and lessons to test the impact of prior exposure to a teacher on scoring the RELATE Tool for Special Education Classroom Observation (RELATE). Analyses of RELATE scorer reliability, comparison of school personnel and researchers on their scores’ aggregates and variance, and the implications for generalization and special education classroom observation are discussed.

Behavior Observation Forms for Special Education

As the school year ramps up, so do the demands for functional behavioral assessment and special education services. For some teachers, this is a new territory. Behavior observation forms are one way to help gather data and assess behaviors.

What types of special education resources can we use for support?

What is a behavior observation form? Read to learn more about how to get started tracking student behavior today!

Table of Contents

What are Behavior Observation Forms?

Behavior observation forms are simply a way to collect data on behavior. This can be done in many ways, but the most common is to use an ABC observation or chart. You'll record the Antecedent (what happened before the behavior), the Behavior itself, and the Consequence (what happened after the behavior).  Data is usually collected on one specific problem behavior and can be used to create a behavioral intervention plan .

What do you do after the function of the behavior is identified using ABC observations? That's where frequency tracking comes in. This technique is an essential part of any behavior plan, and it can help you determine if the interventions and supports you're using are working or not.

Frequency tracking is a method of data collection that involves counting the number of times a behavior occurs over a period of time. This data can be used to identify patterns and trends in behavior. With a quick glance at frequency tally marks, it's easy to see if the behavior is increasing or decreasing.

Why are Behavior Observation Forms Important?

Behavior observation forms are important because they help to identify patterns in behavior . This is the first step in creating a behavior intervention plan. By understanding when and why a behavior occurs, you can start to put together a behavior plan to address it. This observation data will be key when the IEP team meets to discuss next steps in student support.

Behavior Observation Options for Special Education Teachers

There are many different ways that you can collect data on behavior.

  • You could use something you already have in place, like a behavior observation checklist . This is a simple way to get started and can be easily modified to fit your needs.
  • If you're feeling a little more creative, you could design your own behavior observation form . This is a great option if you want to tailor the form to your specific needs.
  • If you're looking for a done-for-you option , there are behavior observation forms available for purchase. These are great if you want a professional looking form or don't have the time to design your own. I have 18 easy-to-use behavior supports (including observation forms) ready to go in our Special Educators Resources Bundle .

No matter what route you choose, behavior observation forms are a valuable tool in special education. By taking the time to collect data on behavior, you can start to understand the patterns and develop an effective behavior intervention plan. If you're new to behavior observation forms, there are many different options available to you. Check out this bundle and get started today!
