Direct Behavior Ratings in Assessment

Provide "quick" assessment of behaviors, especially those not easily captured by other means or monitor student behavior over time.

  • DBR is a tool that involves a brief repeated (e.g., daily) rating of student behavior following a specified period of time (e.g., 45-minutes of math group work).

  • DBR offers a way to quickly collect information over time about student behavior in the classroom.

  • DBR can complement information about behavior gathered from other tools (e.g. office discipline referrals, direct observation, behavior rating scales).
