Hi Reader, Let’s talk about IEP meetings. You know the feeling, the calendar reminder pops up and suddenly you’re questioning every data point you’ve ever collected. Did I update that goal? It doesn’t have to be like that.

Hey there, Let’s talk about progress monitoring for a second. Not the ideal, color-coded, perfectly-organized version… I mean the real version:– Sticky notes you swear you’ll enter later– Data sheets you can’t find when you actually need them– Trying to remember if you collected anything for that one goal last week 👀 Somehow, something that sounds simple turns into one more overwhelming thing on your plate. Here’s the truth no one really says out loud: Progress monitoring isn’t hard because...
