When you’re tracking dozens of goals across a whole caseload, it’s hard to know who’s making progress — and who’s stuck. You need a way to quickly visualize how students are doing, so you can adjust instruction and report on growth with confidence. Kit for Teams makes that easier.
What Progress Monitoring Usually Looks Like
If you’re like most special education teachers, you probably:
-
Rely on scattered notes or binders to track performance
-
Sort through spreadsheets to find meaningful trends
-
Hope you remember enough for accurate progress reports
-
Don’t always catch when a student’s data starts to plateau
You’re not alone — tracking mastery by hand can make it harder to see the big picture.
Kit Helps You See Progress at a Glance
Kit makes it easy to instantly view how a student is progressing on each IEP goal. Here’s how:
-
Data Gauges: See color-coded visuals showing the average of all data collected for a goal or objective.
-
Graphs: Line graphs display data over time for accuracy and frequency. Bar graphs track opportunity data.
-
Custom Views: Toggle between recent data, month-to-date, or custom ranges to match reporting windows.
-
Trendlines: Optional trendlines give you insight into overall growth (or lack of it).
“I could finally see when a student was leveling out and when I needed to switch up instruction. That made writing progress reports so much easier.” — Andrea, Special Education Teacher
What It Looks Like In Practice
In just a few clicks, you can:
1. Open a student’s profile
2. View their current data gauge
3. Click into a goal to view visual graphs
4. Hover over any point to see session-level detail
You’ll know instantly whether a student is mastering a skill, holding steady, or needs a new approach.
Why It Matters
According to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), IEP teams must document progress toward goals and determine if services are effective. The Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) also emphasizes the importance of using data to inform instructional decision-making and adjust supports based on student response.
Having access to visual, up-to-date data helps ensure:
-
Instruction is responsive
-
Reports are accurate
-
Services match student needs
