Instructions:
Select a classroom instruction time of 15 minutes, for either and/or group and individual instruction, that is problematic for the student (i.e. student is
rarely engaged)
Start the timer as soon as you observe the student engaged in the activity
When the student stops engaging, pause the timer
When the student starts engaging, start the timer
Continue pausing and starting the timer as needed until the activity has ended
Based on the number of minutes showing on the timer, circle the number that corresponds
Collect engagement data during this same classroom activity for 2-3 days across two consecutive weeks
After every third data point, analyze the data; determine if engagement is improving or declining; and then, based on your analysis of the data, develop
a corresponding plan
For easier analysis, draw a line connecting each day and insert a phase line when intervention is implemented or is changed

Data analysis:
Based on the past 3 data points, engagement is:

Improving or occurring at Declining or not

desirable level occurring at desirable
level Conduct an Engagement is not occurring at an
assessment acceptable level because

Excellent! Keep current classroom teaching

format and when consistently at desired level,
begin to fade intervention to be maintained by
the natural environment

Not enough individual opportunities to respond delivered
Not enough group opportunities to respond delivered
