Step 7: On-going Assessment and Data Collection

What happens?
•  Instructional and related service personnel collect and maintain records to chart the student’s progress and needs
•  These records can be anecdotal reports, portfolios, charts, criterion-referenced tests, teacher made tests, interviews, student work samples, etc.

Who is involved?
•  Classroom teachers
•  Related service personnel (I.e. paraeducators, speech pathologists, counselors, etc.)
•  Appraisal personnel
•  Student
•  Parents/family

What is the timeline?
•  Data collection should begin as soon as the IEP is developed and continue until the next scheduled IEP review
•  Usually progress is reported at the same time that typical students receive report cards, but this can change based on an ARD/IEP committee decision.
