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

  1. Write your interval length and whether this is partial or whole interval at the top before you begin. The two produce different numbers from the same session.
  2. Partial interval: mark it if the behavior happened at any point. Whole interval: mark it only if it happened throughout.
  3. Percentage is marked intervals divided by observed intervals. Note any interval you could not observe rather than scoring it as a no.

Use this sheet when the goal reads like

  • “will remain on task during 80% of observed intervals”
  • “will use appropriate volume during 90% of 1-minute intervals in group work”

Interval recording is the most labor-intensive method on this list and the right one when a behavior is too continuous to count and too variable to time. If you are choosing between methods, it is usually the last one to reach for.

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.

The goal graph: sessions since the end of August rising from a 40 percent baseline, the last three above the 80 percent mastery line.
