    Self-Monitoring

    Jordan Evans #10

    What is SelfMonitoring?
    Self-Monitoring is a
    strategy involving a
    student observing and
    recording his/her own
    target behavior. This
    strategy involves the
    use of cueing to selfrecord the presence or
    absence of on-task

    Students
    Targeted:
    Although this strategy
    could be helpful to all
    students, the students
    this strategy is targeted
    to are students with
    ADHD, Autism Spectrum
    Disorder (ASD), students
    with Learning
    Disabilities, students
    with ED & BD, and atrisk youth.

    Strategy Purpose:

    Self-Monitoring is used
    to increase on-task
    behaviors of students by
    encouraging them to
    monitor their own

    10 Steps in Implementing
    the Self-Monitoring Plan:
    1. Identifying the Behavior: If a student has several
    areas of concern, select the one causing the greatest
    number of problems. It is important to address only
    one problem at a time.

    2. Define the Target & Develop a Replacement Behavior:


    Write a specific and clear description of the target
    behavior that the student will be able to understand.
    The student must understand what he/she should do
    in place of the problem behavior.

    Benefits of Self-Monitoring:
    o An effective tool for changing
    behavior.
    o Promotes generalization of
    the appropriate behavior to
    other environments.
    o It frees the teacher to attend
    to other students & focus on
    content.
    o It increases student
    independence by making
    students responsible for their
    own behavior.
    o Inexpensive.
    o It is relatively easy to teach
    and implement.
    o It can be used on a variety of
    behaviors.
    o

    It can be used successfully by


    students with different ability

    3. Collect Baseline Data: Determine the


    extent of the behavior interfering with
    classroom learning. If the behavior is
    frequent, use frequent recording (ex: put
    a tally every time the student exhibits the
    problem behavior). The recording
    time/period can vary depending on the
    number of times a student exhibits
    behavior problems. Studies suggest
    recording data five separate times over
    five school days.
    4. Schedule a Conference with Student:
    Convince the student that he/she would
    benefit from adhering to a self-monitoring
    program. Begin by emphasizing the
    students strengths & times when the
    student carried out appropriate behavior.
    Then, define incorrect behavior so the
    student knows what behavior not to
    engage in during class.
    5. Select Self-Monitoring Procedures: How
    frequently the student will record his/her
    behavior. Decide on a prompt to signal
    (visual, audio, physical, or verbal) to the
    student to record behavior.
    6. Teach Student to Use Self-Monitoring
    Procedures: Practice. The teacher needs
    to lead the student step by step
    discussing any questions & confusion.
    7. Have Student Implement Self-Monitoring:
    Provide frequent positive reinforcement,
    feedback, and assistance to encourage
    the student to continue using the selfmonitoring plan. Over-time the teacher
    can decrease the level of support, but
    initially the student needs support while
    adjusting to the plan.
    8. Use Specific Verbal Praise: Addressing
    them by name, stating the correct
    behavior being preformed, and providing
    positive feedback.

    9. Monitor Progress: Determine the


    effectiveness of the self-monitoring plan
