Preparing Data Sheets & Reproducibles

Preparing Data Sheets & Reproducibles
Organize student notebooks in a way that accomplishes these three things:
1. Each student has his or her own progress-tracking data sheets divided into current lessons, past lessons, lessons yet to be taught.
2. Each student’s progress-tracking data sheets and Reproducibles are easily accessible for use by you or others, like para-educators, who might be working with the student.
3. Extra copies of the data sheets and Reproducibles for each content area and lesson are ready in case they are needed and are easily accessible.

Put Extra Copies in a File Cabinet for Easy Access

Remember:
You will likely need multiple copies of each type of data sheet.
Keeping additional copies of all the progress-tracking data sheets increases efficiency & accessibility of materials.
A ready-to-use full set of Progress-Tracking Data Sheets comes with the Second Edition Student Package.
Be sure to pull out only the data sheets that the student needs for the lessons they are working on.

Scheduling
THE IMPORTANCE OF SCHEDULING
Maximizes each student’s learning opportunities.
Eliminates down time.
Provides staff and helpers with a clear guide to their daily activities.
![Page 21: Presenters: Candice Styer & Suzanne Fitzgerald styer.fitzgerald@gmail.com](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033100/56649f575503460f94c7b8c5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Scheduling
INCONSISTENT OR NO SCHEDULING
The likelihood increases that there will be: Excessive down and wasted time
Staff and student confusion
Increased behavioral issues
Insufficient time to work on IEP goals
Dependence on teaching to the group
Inability to carry out an individualized program to address each student’s instructional level and growth potential
