    An anecdotal record is a written description of a specific observed incident in a student's behavior. It provides a factual account of what happened, when, and under what circumstances. The record should objectively describe the student's behavior without inference, and focus on incidents considered significant to the student's growth. Anecdotal records are intended to help teachers understand students and improve behavior, and can also be used for self-appraisal and peer assessment.
