Abstract: Educators of all levels are required to make decisions to maximize the effectiveness of instruction. However, decision-making can become difficult from class session to class session without an effective data collection system to measure progress across weeks. The Standard Celeration Chart (SCC) is a standardized semi-logarithmic graph that measures behavior across time to determine if exponential growth/decay is occurring. Typically, the SCC is used in precision teaching with one learner to measure behavior. The present study examines the use of the SCC as a tool to measure group performance and instructor decision-making. The instructor taught a course in behavior management to post-secondary students during a summer session at a mid-sized southeastern university in the United States. Celeration patterns dictated a change in instruction to achieve a group goal of correct responding. Data were entered at the end of each class session and decisions were made on a weekly basis. The data demonstrate that using the SCC with a group of students can be effective to guide instruction if the behavior is the same across students.
