Explore your OBM fieldwork
See how assessment and project materials connect to the work you can do with a BCBA supervisor. The Homework Monitors example follows a 12-week project on tutor routines, manager feedback and service delivery.
The organizational question
The Homework Monitors provides live online homework support from real people. Its monitors help students get started, stay focused and follow through on assignments, supporting planning, organization and time management without replacing specialized subject tutoring. Its managers wanted more consistent tutor preparation, session structure and follow-up documentation.
The OBM project concerns employee and manager performance. Student grades and executive-functioning outcomes were not measured in this project.
Trainees interview employees and managers, observe approved sessions and collect performance information. They use that information to develop a checklist, brief training activities and a weekly manager-feedback process.
Reading the measures
Review the actual results from this 12-week project as an example of the data you may discuss in OBM supervision.
| Measure | Baseline | Final four weeks |
|---|---|---|
| Defined tutoring-session steps completed | 58% | 91% |
| Session summaries completed within 24 hours | 62% | 94% |
| Scheduled weekly manager-feedback meetings completed | 35% | 90% |
The project compared baseline performance with the final four weeks of the 12-week engagement. These percentages describe the observed changes. The comparison alone does not show what caused them.
Student grades and executive-functioning outcomes were not measured. The table reports employee-performance and service-delivery measures.
Practical materials
These recreated examples show how a session checklist and manager-feedback guide can organize the work. They are not actual client records.
Recreated example
Each step should have an observable definition and a recording procedure appropriate to the actual project.
Recreated example
The prompts organize a conversation. They do not establish why performance changed.
A project summary
The project connected a defined performance question to interviews, approved observations, a checklist, brief training and a weekly manager-feedback process.
Before drawing a conclusion, ask whether the definitions are clear, whether records are consistent, which barriers remain and whether performance continues when support changes.
This 12-week engagement shows one way an OBM project develops over time. Trainee assignments follow each organizational client’s needs and the project schedule.
