Chafouleas, Sandra M.; Riley-Tillman, T. Chris; Sassu, Kari A.; LaFrance, Mary J.; Patwa, Shamim S. – Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, 2007
In this study, the consistency of on-task data collected across raters using either a Daily Behavior Report Card (DBRC) or systematic direct observation was examined to begin to understand the decision reliability of using DBRCs to monitor student behavior. Results suggested very similar conclusions might be drawn when visually examining data…

Chafouleas, Sandra M.; Riley-Tillman, T. Chris; Sassu, Kari A. – Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, 2006
In this study, a sample of teachers was surveyed regarding their reported use and acceptability of daily behavior report cards (DBRCs).

Additional findings…
