Special education professionals need to collaborate with general education teach

Special education professionals need to collaborate with general education teachers and other school staff to collect data on undesirable behaviors. Prior to implementing interventions, this data needs to be analyzed to determine the causes of the behavior(s) as well as the consequences for the behavior(s).
For this Assignment, you will interview and collaborate with a general education teacher regarding a behavioral concern (e.g. disruptive behaviors, attention problems, inappropriate language, off-task behaviors, defiance) for a student with an exceptionality that spends time in the general education teacher’s classroom. You will create a data collection tool and collect data on this behavior for at least 8 days during Module 3 (Weeks 3 & 4). This data will then be used to plan evidence-based interventions for the general education teacher and yourself to implement to minimize the behavior. You will continue to collect data while the interventions are in place to determine their effectiveness and make ongoing plans for the identified student.
Create a data collection tool to implement in Module 3 (Weeks 3 & 4) that will provide you with data on one of the student’s undesired behaviors. Note: You will need to collect at least 8 days of data on the undesired behavior, and this data should be collected during multiple activities and environments throughout the school day.
Write a 2- to 3-page paper that includes the following two parts:
Part 1: Interview Summary
Summarize the information that you gathered from the interview with the general education teacher.
Note: Be sure to remove all identifying information regarding both the student and the general education teacher.
Explain the teacher’s classroom expectations and how the identified behavior does not align with those expectations. Provide a rationale as to why you chose the behavior and how the behavior is impacting learning for your student and for the other students in the classroom.
Note: You will be collecting data (Module 3) on the identified behavior and implementing interventions to try to improve the behavior (Module 4).
Part 2: Collecting Valid and Reliable Data
Explain the importance of collecting data to inform intervention strategies. Use evidence-based, peer-reviewed research to support your thoughts.
Explain how the data collection tool you created will provide you with valid and reliable data on the identified behavior.
Attach a transcriipt of your interview as Appendix A and your data collection tool as Appendix B for this Assignment.
