FACTS Functional Assessment Checklist: FBA Interview for Teachers & Staff
Interviewing a teacher about challenging behavior works best when you ask questions that lead to specific, useful answers. This packet gives you the full two-part Functional Assessment Checklist for Teachers and Staff (FACTS), organized and ready for your next FBA.
What's Inside
- Student, grade, date, and interviewer fields
- Part A, Routines Analysis: a rating grid to identify where, when, and with whom problem behavior is most likely, space to select and prioritize routines, and a danger screening question
- Part B, ABC Interview: Student Strengths, a measurable definition of the Problem Behavior with follow-up questions, frequency and duration, ranked Antecedents and Triggers checklists, ranked Consequences and Function checklists, Setting Events, and a Summary of Behavior with a confidence rating scale
How It Helps You
- Built-in follow-up questions guide you toward specific, observable answers
- Keeps every section in order so the interview runs efficiently
- Leads naturally into ABC observation and Behavior Intervention Planning
Ways to Use It
Use it to interview the teachers, family members, or clinicians who know the student best. After a confident Summary of Behavior, follow up with a brief confirmatory observation such as an ABC Recording Form.
Who It's For
Behavior specialists, special education teams, and anyone with expertise in function-based support.
