  1. Direct Behavior Rating: Overview of Use in Classroom Assessment of Student Behavior

  2. What is DBR? • A tool that involves a brief rating of a target behavior following a specified observation period (e.g. class activity).

  3. Example DBR Never Always Interpretation: The student displayed academically engaged behavior during 80% of large group math instruction today.

  4. Which behaviors will I rate? • Academically Engaged: Academically engaged behavior is defined as actively or passively participating in the classroom activity. For example: writing, raising his/her hand, answering a question, talking about a lesson, listening to the teacher, reading silently, or looking at instructional materials. • Compliance:To initiate/complete a response to an adult request in a timely and socially acceptable manner. For example: following classroom directions/ instructions, responding to teacher within 5 seconds, being respectful of others while complying, and responding without exhibiting any defiance. • Disruptive Behavior: Disruptive behavior is defined as a student action that interrupts regular school or classroom activity. For example: out of his/her seat, fidgeting, playing with objects, acting aggressively, talking/yelling about things that are unrelated to classroom instruction.

  5. Using the DBR line to record student behavior • Ratings should correspond to the proportion of time that you actually observed the student display the target behavior. • When rating, each behavior should be considered independently of the other targets. That is, total ratings across behaviors do not have to equal 100%. • For example, a student may be engaged 50% of the time, and disruptive 20%. A student may also be engaged for 100% of the time, and disruptive for 10%. • Please note that a lowerscore for ‘Disruptive Behavior’ is more desirable, whereas a higherscore on the other items is desirable.

  6. How do I use this DBR form? • Complete top portion of the form • Student’s name, Date, Rating period(s) • Review behavior definitions and rating directions • Have the form ready for completion following each pre-identified activity period • e.g., Reading block, independent seat work • Immediately following the activity period, complete the ratings • Do not complete the rating if you aren’t confident you directly observed the student for a sufficient amount of time

  7. Key Issue • Your ratings do not need to total 100% • For example a student can be disruptive 30% of the time and academically engaged 90% of the time!
