“We leave it up to the teacher.” But how do you KNOW your child is making progress?
When parents request weekly IEP data collection sheets, schools may explain that teachers determine how progress is tracked.
Here's the important distinction: Federal law requires IEPs to explain how progress toward annual goals will be measured and when parents will receive progress reports. It does not universally require weekly data sheets.
Teacher observations can be valuable, but measurable, documented evidence helps families understand whether instruction is working.
Parents, ask what data is being collected, how progress is measured, and whether your child's goals are being met!
