It would be much better to pull data which shows that Michael is only on task 50% of each class period.The IEP will drive your data collection and makes you responsible for providing information about behavior and social skills in a logical, precise, tangible method.

In reviewing the IEP, the student’s rate of progress and the likelihood of achieving the annual goals should be the first indicator of how well the IEP is working for the student.The student’s progress towards the annual goal is measured through ongoing data collection. To determine if the response has been positive, the teacher or the IEP team will look at the data to see if the gap between current and expected student performance is closing. The expected performance is the target set in the annual goal. Take a look at this graph of student progress. The green line shows the expected rate of progress for the student to reach the goal. The dotted line shows the student’s actual progress. Does the gap between the two appear to be closing? Yes!If the response has been positive, the following actions are possible:Continue services and supports with current annual goal.Continue services and supports and increase annual goal.Gradually fade services or supports to determine if the student can perform independently.This may look familiar to you. This decision rule is from the PS-RtI framework. The progress-monitoring data charts and descriptions of possible actions are adapted from the book Guiding Tools for Instructional Problem Solving (GTIPS) (2011). Hold up the GTIPS Book.Note: If participants inquire about where to find graphing programs, mention that progress-monitoring software is sometimes available with their reading and mathematics curricula. If not, they can create progress-monitoring graphs using database software such as Excel. Graphing programs for progress monitoring are also available for download online.
A questionable response is when the rate of progress is not sufficient to close the gap, as shown in this graph.If the response is questionable, the following actions are possible:Determine if the services and supports were implemented as intended. This is where monitoring with integrity comes into play. If not, improve the implementation of services and supports.If yes, increase intensity of current services and supports and assess impact. If the rate of progress doesn’t improve, return to problemsolving.
A poorresponse is when the gap continues to widen with no change or improvement in the rate of progress.If the response is poor, the following actions are possible:Determine if the services and supports were implemented as intended, including instruction, accommodations, etc.If not, improve implementation of services and supports.If yes, return to problemsolving. Review student data to make sure the correct problem is identified and/or change the instructional strategy or supports as needed (e.g., change an accommodation that does not appear to be enabling the student to perform as anticipated).
