Case Study Rubric NAEYC Standard 3 CDEC 1319| Assignment Instructions | Rubric Requirements | Points Possible | Points Earned |
| 1. Introduction of the Child Mention the child’s name (may be fictitious name). Give a short physical description of the child, including the child’s age. Give a short “history” of the child, including family make-up, family environments or other factual information you consider important about the child. Do not give any opinions or suppositions in your paragraph. | Description of the child | 10 | |
| Information about the family | 10 | ||
| 2. State the Behavior Give a short description of the one problem behavior you have identified. For example: The child regularly hits (bites, wastes materials, takes toys, wets his pants, etc.) It should be factual; do not give any opinions or suppositions. 2 or 3 sentences is enough. | Description matched the observed inappropriate behavior (see 3.) | 10 | |
| Description of the problem behavior is in one to three sentences | 10 | ||
| 3. Observe the Behavior Before you attempt to deal with the problem behavior gather as much factual information about the behavior as possible. Answer these questions in bullet format:
| When? | ||
| What happened before? | |||
| With whom? | |||
| Description of inappropriate behavior | |||
| What happened afterwards? | |||
| 4. Explore the Consequences What can happen if a problem behavior is not altered? Use your knowledge, from reading the textbook, to write two or three sentences. | Discussion matched the observed inappropriate behavior | 10 | |
| Discussion of the possible consequences is in two or three sentences | 10 | ||
| 5. Consider the Alternatives Could outside influences be fueling this behavior? Problem behavior does not always stem from the child. Look at the environment, the other children and the adults in the child’s life. What else could be a factor in the observed behavior? Write a paragraph about these influences. | Describes 2-3 factors influencing this behavior in a paragraph | 10 | |
| 6. State the Goal The goal for the child whose behavior you want to change is stated in this section. For some children, it would be helpful to eliminate the behavior, and for other children it would be helpful to lower the frequency. Your goal should be written in objective format such as: Donny will eliminate his nail biting within thirty days | Goal statement is written in an observable and measurable objective format | 15 |
| 7. Definition Give a concise definition of the behavior to be changed (1-2 sentences). Find the definition in your textbook or in a dictionary. | Definition of the behavior was concise and accurate | 10 | |
| 8. Baseline Take a baseline of the frequency of behavior with which to compare later changes. Do this over at least a three-day period. These can be hand-written notes. | Three observation assessments were completed during a three-day period (anecdotal records) | 15 | |
| 9. Program Design a program for changing the behavior. It could be several consecutive steps or simultaneous procedures. For example, you might ignore the behavior, offer a reward for opposite behavior, institute a brief “time out”, or encourage the child to help in determining the consequences. Put this in a numbered step-by-step format. | Program matched the observed inappropriate behavior, and was in a step-by-step format | 15 | |
| 10. Maintenance Once a goal is reached, it is important to maintain it. Give at least two suggestions to help keep the appropriate behavior and avoid a setback. Put this in bullets (sentence format) or a paragraph. | Two maintenance suggestions correlated with the program that was designed for the child in bullet or paragraph format | 15 | |
| 11. Graph Behavior Keep a graph of the daily behavior. Often the behavior is heightened at first and then diminishes. You may use a bar graph, or a line graph. This can be hand-drawn. There should be 3 entries on your graph to coincide with the baseline data that you collected. | Bar or line graph coincides with the baseline data collected with at least 3 entries | 15 | |
| Format Only facts were used in the first three sections. The outline was followed and the headings were used. Spelling and grammar errors were minimal. | Only facts, no opinions, in first 3 sections | ||
| Followed format and used headings | |||
| No spelling or grammar errors | 10 | ||
