Jerry Brown-Progress Monitoring
Hello everyone, I am a high school ESE teacher in Florida and my school district has begun to put a huge emphasis into the progress monitoring of ESE students. As of now we are required to put a hard copy of a monitoring sheet in each teachers mailbox in order to get feedback from them. Besides the fact that the use of all the paper is not good for the enviorment, it is also very time consuming! Does anyone have any ideas or experience on how to get these monitoring sheets out to the teachers via our school e-mail system, while still maintaining the privacy of our students?

What about Google Documents? You can create a spreadsheet or document then invite the teacher to view/edit it. They will have to have a google account (but they can use their school e-mail as the login). It is secure (as far as I know). I use it on a daily basis to communicate with parents/related service providers on what we did during the day and such! Send me an email if you have any more questions!
ReplyDeleteI will check into that, I have thought about creating some type of spreadsheet for the teachers to fill out, but my concern is keeping the students name private. Do you think I could assign each student a ID number and give the teachers a hard copy of it so when we are discussing the student the name is never mentioned?
ReplyDeleteI think that would work great! I really have been having great success having my staff use it. It's as easy as any word processor.

ReplyDeleteI am currently teaching a learning strategies class to high school special education students. This class is designed to help teach special education students test taking, note taking, and organizational strategies that they can implement into their regular education classes.
Although the strategies I teach are very helpful to the students, I believe the students could use blogging to further enhance their knowledge base of strategies they can use in class. I would like to see the students use their blogging skills to interact with other high school special education students and share the different learning strategies they have learned. They could share what strategies work the best and which ones are not beneficial to them. I believe the information my students receive from the blogging experience could help me gain a better understanding for what strategies my students actually think would help them in their regular education classes
