Progress Reports

Most plan documents have an associated progress report. Progress reports are a very powerful tool to help track a student’s progress toward their goals/objectives as stated in their plan. Progress can be tracked narratively, through observation and comments, or with a progress monitoring chart if there are student scores to report.

Progress reports will automatically populate with goals/objectives (as well as plan dates) from the most recent, completed, plan document. When you create a progress report, if the goals/objectives do not populate automatically, or if they are from a past plan document, you can complete the current plan document, then click Update Goals/Objectives in the progress report document to re-pull the information.

Progress Monitoring Charts link

Within most progress reports, you can create progress monitoring charts. These charts provide a great visual representation of a student’s actual progression as compared to their target progression throughout the year, which can be especially helpful when discussing a student’s progress with parents. In addition to tracking whether or not a goal has been met, you are able to tell if a student is on track to meet their goal by the end of the year or the reporting period.

1. Under the goal or objective, click on the add Chart button. A chart will appear with a legend for Target progression and Student scores.
2. Enter the baseline information for Date and Score.
3. Enter the target information for Date and Score. The chart will automatically update and display the appropriate scale and timeline.
4. Throughout the year, when there is a new score to report, click add Score or add Data and provide relevant information. Once the score and date has been entered, the data point will be plotted on the chart and a trendline will be drawn between each data point.
