Why should a program conduct running records observations?
Although in the standardization of the DECA observations were not required of the individuals administering the tool, DECI recommends conducting running records observations for two main reasons. First, this type of observation provides accurate, objective and complete information without including the observer’s judgments or biases. This information can help teachers to more accurately complete the DECA, leading to more accurate results. Second, these observation recordings provide data that can be shared with parents and used by professionals and specialists from different disciplines. This information can then be used to effectively plan interventions both at the universal and targeted levels, if necessary.
