Duration Data Sheet

A free printable duration recording sheet for IEP goals measured in how long a student sustains or takes to begin a behavior. Type your goal in and the sheet fills itself, or print it blank.

Fill in your goals

The sheet fills in as you type. Initials only, never a name. Nothing is saved on our side: your goals travel inside the QR code printed on the sheet, so scanning it reopens this sheet for a fresh stack.

Prompt key: I = independent · V = verbal · G = gestural · M = model · PP = partial physical · FP = full physical

  1. Decide before you start what counts as the beginning and the end, and write it at the top. Half of duration data disagreements are definition disagreements.
  2. For latency goals, start the clock at the direction, not at the point you noticed nothing was happening.
  3. Record each occurrence on its own line. Averaging in your head loses the range, and the range is often the story.

Use this sheet when the goal reads like

  • “will remain engaged in independent work for 10 continuous minutes”
  • “will begin a non-preferred task within 2 minutes of the direction”

Duration and latency use the same sheet because they are the same recording action with a different starting whistle. Note which one this sheet is for at the top so a substitute records the same thing you would.

Not sure this is the right method? Choosing a measurement type matches the verb in the goal to the sheet that fits.

Keep the sheets. Add the graph.

Log the same sessions in Evident and the graph draws itself: baseline, target, and the mastery line across the school year. No typing a stack of sheets into a spreadsheet in May.
