5 Ways to Collect Data When Students Are Using Task Boxes


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m sharing five practical and efficient ways to collect data while using task boxes in the classroom. Task boxes are fantastic tools for promoting independence and skill-building, and they’re also perfect for gathering meaningful data to track student progress. Learn how to streamline your data collection process while supporting your students’ growth.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  1. Data Collection Sheets:

    • Create simple, customizable sheets for tracking correct/incorrect responses and observations.
    • Use checkboxes or tally marks for quick and efficient data entry.
    • Task Box Labels with QR Codes:

      • Add QR codes to task box labels to link to digital data forms like Google Forms.
      • Eliminate paper clutter and keep data organized online.
      • Student Self-Monitoring:

        • Provide students with simple self-checklists to encourage independence and reflection.
        • Verify their self-assessment and make additional notes as needed.
        • Observation and Notes:

          • Collect anecdotal data by observing how students approach tasks and identifying areas of struggle.
          • Use digital tools like a voice recorder for convenience.
          • Video Recording:

            • Record task sessions for detailed analysis of performance and body language.
            • Share progress with parents or support teams (with consent).
            • Call to Action:
