DATA FOLDERS
Data folders have been a HUGE help in managing data in the classroom! It also makes writing the IEP so much easier with up to date information, student work samples, and goal progress!
The first thing that I do, is take the goals and benchmarks from the IEP and put them in clear page protectors. I put those in a cheap plastic three prong folder (see above). That way anytime you or your paras need to see the current goals, you don't have to fumble through the entire IEP. You can see only the goals and benchmarks. NOTE: Make sure every time you hold an IEP that you update the new goals in the folder!
