Confidently collect data for your entire caseload
in 6 weeks
Without the overwhelm of not knowing where to start, the frustration with there not being enough time and always in the " I don't know what to do next" cycle
If you’re a special education teacher -- no matter new or seasoned-- looking to get a handle on your data collection for your caseload while creating more attainable progress monitoring then you already know…. you need a step-by-step action plan for data collection to make an impact with your students and the never ending paperwork.
So I won't spiral into the never ending "what if's" because there is no reason to be a broken record and convince you that you need some help with data collection.
The truth is, you already KNOW that you need an easy and functional data collection system for your caseload without spending all your time on documentation because you wear many hats and you don't always want to be at school. You want simple yet effective strategies for data collection, right?
HERE'S WHAT YOU
MIGHT NOT KNOW
Even if you're lucky enough to have a perfectly designed classroom, you have the work accommodated for your entire caseload and all the lesson plans are done for the entire month (lucky you) ... data collection drives every aspect of your role as a special educator. So let's talk about benefits of data collection. It can:
-
GENERATE CONSISTENT AND EFFECTIVE DATA
Even if you're happy with other systems with your room and writing your IEP's, mastering data collection with a systematic system will give you time back in your day. -
QUICKLY & EFFICIENTLY INTERPRET DATA TO DRIVE INSTRUCTION
Special education teachers are required to take data, but having easy and functional data processes is a no-brainer. -
BOOST YOUR DAILY PRODUCTIVITY TIME IN THE CLASSROOM
Time is non-scalable and even going to the restroom can be challenging much less the 17 other things that are waiting on your attention including data. This could lead to optimizing your time while at school, thus making you a more effective teacher. -
LEAD BETTER AND TRAIN YOUR TEAM
We are better together, right? You're special education team can help. Imagine the freedom you could experience if you could hand-off some of the tasks that are piling up on you to help you provide excellence for your caseload and team.
Even though the reasons to master data collection are obvious, the path to doing it successfully
is anything but.
Want simple, yet effective methods for data collection and streamlining your paperwork at the same time?
But where in the heck do I even start the with setup and being consistent with it.
Perhaps in the most courageous moments you've made the commitment to start.
You've read the IEP's, searched the internet for forms, tried to set up systems and even talked to other teachers about their set-ups.
If you are super committed, maybe you've even downloaded data collection forms on familiar websites, and set up systems you hope to use during the year.
But even with the best intentions, most teachers end up reverting to ineffective systems they have been using or worse, not collecting any data at all.
Here's why most teachers revert to old, ineffective systems of data collection:
Without a super clear step-by-step plan most teachers get lost in the stress of all the daily responsibility that comes with being a special education teacher.
They constantly battle between meeting student's needs, completing all the paperwork, meeting administrative demands and collaborating with staff and parents yet still strive to make time to collect data.
Here's why this has GOT to change.
As an already busy special education teacher with a full caseload, services to fulfill, and maybe even other outside responsibilities, you literally can't afford to have the wrong things on your plate.
And the moment you get lost in your paperwork, it's almost impossible to recover.
Therefore collecting data is something you need to master.
Which means...
Even if you are late to the party, there is still a golden opportunity for you to jump in, clean up the mess, and create a system for your data collection to give you back precious time, and streamline a less-stressful yet effective process.
That is... if you can avoid the same data collection frustrations other special education teachers experience.
3 Myths That Are Killing Your Data Collection
Myth 1
I don't have time to learn something new.
Our time is valuable and so is professional development. Data collection is imperative to special education teachers. By setting up an effective system, the time you spend collecting data will be efficient and easier.
Myth 2
I don't know how to use the data
Data can be hard to get started especially when there are a variety of IEP goals that need to be collected on and an ocean of forms that you "could" use yet none of them fit perfectly. When data forms are explained and categorized, you'll be able to setup and implement the process in a quick and efficient way.
Myth 3
It isn't functional and easy so I can't incorporate into my daily schedule.
As special education teachers, you wear many different hats and most days there isn't enough minutes in the day to get everything done. Sure, there is no magic wand, but with some hard work and a detailed blueprint, incorporating this into your schedule will make sense and more be simplified- only keeping the things you need to be successful.
Shh...I'm going to let you in on a little secret
Even though data collection can be overwhelming and frustrating. It can be simple.
All teachers can collect data however many struggle with a streamlined process that is effective and simple.
A few teacher's find their stride with data collection on what feels like day two of their teaching career while most others never know how to use it.
And the main reason for this, as you've likely seen by now, is that while the data collection barriers to entry are relatively low...
the barriers towards EFFECTIVE IMPLEMENTATION are fairly high.
But as long as you can avoid the biggest issues that sink most special education teachers, the path is paved for you to create your own effective data collection system.
One that allows you to achieve a new level productively and organization for your caseload's paperwork.
The key ingredient to all this is having a data collection system.
And with your permission, that's what I would LOVE to show you how to create.
Introducing
Exceptional Data Simplified
A step-by-step process to organize and provide tools to make data collection functional and user-friendly to drive instruction and goals.
I have taken everything I have learned from being a special education teacher for the last 10 years, journal articles about data collection that have been published, key-note speaker at training and conference, and an Educational Specialist degree focus on special education and channeled it into a comprehensive step-by-step implementation program that not only teaches you about data collection but the actual implementation of a complete data collection process.
EXCEPTIONAL DATA SIMPLIFIED ISN'T SO MUCH A TRAINING PROGRAM AS IT IS AN IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM.
Yes, you'll learn the strategies behind everything you do, but more importantly, you'll have a step-by-step guide that leaves nothing out and takes nothing for granted as you implement it.
The end result: a stellar data collection process for your entire caseload that takes less time yet produces stellar data to drive instructional decisions.
Imagine yourself 6 weeks removed from a series of modules and guidance that allowed you to write progress reports with ease, drive educational decisions in meetings and have a system in place that is actually moving the needle.
