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.
