Graphing Tools

ChartDog Classic. [44]This simplified charting tool allows the teacher to track one student's data across multiple weeks. An explanation of how to use this app can be fount using the ChartDog Classic Manual [45].

Excel Spreadsheet: Student Progress-Monitoring Graph: Single Intervention Phase. [46]This graph has no macros (custom computer code). It allows you to enter data for baseline and one intervention phase. The graph also will compute a trendline to plot the average rate of student progress during the intervention phase. There is no limit on the number of intervention data points that you can plot.
Excel Spreadsheet: Student Progress-Monitoring Graph: Three Intervention Phases [47]. This graph allows you to enter data for baseline and up to 3 intervention phases. It also will compute an aimline/goal line and trendline for each intervention phase. Note: Because this file contains macros (custom computer code), your computer may not allow you to run it or may require that you change your security settings before it will run properly.
ChartDog Online Graphmaker. [48]This free online application allows the user to enter student data for an unlimited number of intervention phases, to plot aimlines and trendlines for each data series, and to save charts for later updating. This application does require more effort to learn than the excel files above, so you may also want to check out the ChartDog Manual. [49]
