COMPLETE AFTER THE OBSERVATION

ON-TASK BEHAVIOR FOR THIS ONE OBSERVATION IS _________ PER CENT.  To find the percentage of on-task behavior, total the number of students on-task (marked by * above) and divide that number by 14 (number of intervals of recorded observation). Now divide that number by the total number of students in the class.
