Description
Systematic observation is a crucial skill for school psychologists and educators to assess social-emotional and behavioral referral concerns in students from PreK to 12. This practical guide provides effective tools and procedures for conducting reliable and accurate observations. The book covers various aspects of classroom behavior, the classroom environment, non-classroom settings, and functional assessment contexts, offering coding systems and guidelines for developing new codes when necessary. It also includes detailed information on summarizing, graphing, and interpreting data for different assessment purposes. With its large-size format and lay-flat binding, this book is ideal for photocopying and includes 13 reproducible coding forms that can be downloaded from a dedicated Web page.
