Guidelines for Anecdotal Reports Write down the setting as you initially see it, describe the individuals and their relationship, identify the occurring activity. Record everything the targeted student says and does and to whom or to what. Describe everything said and done to the student and by whom. Clearly differentiate between fact and your interpretation of what is being observed. Provide some temporal indications so as to be able to judge duration.

Observational Recording Systems Event Recording: Recording the number of times a behavior occurs Interval Recording: Recording of whether a behavior occurs during intervals of a specified time period. Time Sampling: Recording of whether a behavior occurs at the end of an interval during a specified time period. Duration Recording: Recording the length of time a behavior occurs. Latency Recording: Recording the amount of time it takes for a student to begin the targeted behavior.
