Who enters the child outcome data into Work Sampling or Ounce?
It is recommended that the teacher/therapist who is observing the child and completing the WSO Checklist or OSO Developmental Profile enter the information into WSO/OSO. WSO and OSO are user-friendly reporting systems that allow for quick data entry. The teacher who is comfortable with data entry in WSO/OSO will also be more likely to generate reports and use the data for informing daily instructional practice. If someone other than the teacher who observed the child enters the data, opportunities for errors increase, and the teacher/therapist becomes more removed from the process of using this information to make instructional decisions. While teachers/therapists are encouraged to report child outcome data in WSO/OSO, the demographic data collected through PELICAN may be entered by other provider staff including program administrators or support staff.
