Find out how long a behaviour lasts and how quickly a pupil starts after an instruction, then graph progress against a clear goal. These printable duration recording and latency recording sheets help SEND, SEMH and pastoral teams in Years R–9 collect fair, comparable behaviour data.

17 A4 pages in one PDF:
• Cover and contents (p1–2)
• How to use in six steps (p3)
• Duration or latency? Timing guide, formulas, time formats and prompt codes (p4)
• Behaviour definition planner with definition, examples, non-examples, start and stop rules, measurement, replacement behaviour and goal – worked example and blank (p5–6)
• Duration episode log with hh:mm:ss start and stop times – worked example and blank (p7–8)
• Duration session summary with total time, longest episode and % of session – worked example and blank (p9–10)
• Latency log with prompt codes and a within-goal column – worked example and blank (p11–12)
• Behaviour observation graphs with numbered scales, axis labels and dashed goal lines – worked example (p13), blank duration graphs (p14) and blank latency graphs (p15)
• Team review planner (p16)
• Terms of use (p17)

The worked examples follow a Year 8 pupil (duration) and a Year 2 pupil (latency). Each example shows every step, from clock times and totals to the % of session, the goal decision and the graph, so staff can follow it straight away.

Use the behaviour observation sheets for SEMH tracking, SEND behaviour data and a clear behaviour data graph for reviews with your SENCo, parents and carers.
