Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

Section Two of the guide is a fillable template where teachers "capture the most important information you gathered from your reflection about your student." It is broken into three parts — Key Information, General Academic and Cognition, and Social-Emotional Learning and Behavior — each prompting present levels of performance, strengths and growth areas, goal planning, accommodations, and student input. Teachers add data such as grades, attendance, social/emotional skills, and behavior, and the output feeds directly into classroom supports and the IEP.
