Task 2: Collect Student Behavior Data

Guideline: Collecting student behavior data is the basic step in understanding behavior issues in a school. It is important for the principal to have a handle on this data collection. In addition to looking at the totals for all students, it is beneficial to disaggregate it for the following subgroups: age groups, gender, economically disadvantaged students, students from major racial and ethnic groups, students with disabilities and students with limited English proficiency. Disaggregated, the behavior data can be matched with the academic performance data for each subgroup.
