Challenges that our district faces are: Case managers have not had complete access to some of the district monitoring tools. The case managers will need time to become more accustomed to the data that these tools provide. Change in routine and methods. Case managers will need to adjust to higher expectations of student monitor. The case managers will need to make sure that they monitor the IEP goals versus grade level standards. The development of a uniform Progress Report form with data will take time to perfect. Case Managers presently have a progress reporting tools but lack uniformity across the district. A Progress Report form will be need to support to the different grade levels and contents as well as simple enough to track district-wide. Behavior There was minimal data to analyze on student behaviors over the last several years. The district’s lack of a behavioral liaison for several years was evident based on the development of these goals. The goals lacked data driven expectations and strategies. The review of records pointed out that most BIPs/behavior goals lacked support for effective data monitoring. The goals did not have attainable and measureable goals for behavior. The district had not been comparing discipline to the actual expectations of the behavior goals. After professional development is conducted with EC Staff, Counselors, and Principals, the behavior liaison will: Collect the data related to behavior goals to monitor the effectiveness of the implementation of behavior goals for students Monitor the fidelity of behavior goal implementation Develop alternative solutions to support appropriate behavior by the student Our district’s goal is to have students meet 80% of their BIP/behavioral annual goals each year. In order to effective determine if IEP goals are met, the behavior liaison will need to collect the data from the case managers for assessment. In order for the students to meet 80% of the behavioral goals: IEP teams need to develop research –based strategies that can be effectively monitored Behavior Liaison will need to provide monitoring and coaching on the proper steps to implement the strategies and collection of data
