How to use this calculator

The calculator compares baseline and current incident counts, then shows normalized rates per 100 student-days.

When to round up

Compare similar observation windows and keep incident definitions consistent before calling a trend meaningful.

When to use this calculator

  • Planning a classroom routine
  • Checking a team or grade-level assumption
  • Preparing a printable result for teacher planning

Tips for better estimates

  • Use the current roster and school calendar.
  • Keep scoring, timing, or documentation rules consistent.
  • Share assumptions with a team lead when the result affects a classroom system.

Example scenarios

  • Use 37.5 % change as the first classroom planning number, then adjust for roster size and calendar realities.
  • Create one version for the current class and one version with a buffer for new students, absences, or schedule changes.
  • Share the assumptions with a team lead or grade-level partner so the estimate matches how the tool will be used.
