Who is involved?
- Classroom teachers
- Related service personnel (I.e. paraeducators, speech pathologists, counselors, etc.)
- Appraisal personnel

- 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
