What are some simple data collection techniques I can use in my kindergarten classroom?
I am on an IAT coaching team. We are developing a list of ideas for the teachers in our all kindergarten building to use when collecting data on student behaviors. I have looked everywhere and I have only been able to find about three techniques including placing a piece of masking tape on your leg and tally marking everytime you observe the behavior, moving paperclips from one pocket to the other and using a counter to record the number of times the behavior happens. I am sure that there are more, however, I have been unable to locate any additional ideas. I would greatly appreciate the advice of other teachers. Any websites or book recommendations would be outstanding. Thank you so much in advance.

If you look under Behavior planning
Functional Behavior Assessment
Teacher Tools.
They give you specific examples for collecting data including a Scatter Plot, ABC chart and other ideas.
You may also want to talk about different types of data collection: frequency/ event recording, duration (latency) and time sampling to give a range of the type of data that can be collected. An introductory text to Behavior Analysis gives a lot of great data collection ideas also. Applied Behavior Analysis for Teachers published by Prentice Hall is a great resource.
I hope these are helpful 
A couple more websites.
