It is imperative that special educators have a system for collecting data to show a student's progress towards their IEP goals. If your district is like mine, you have been given free rein to collect data however you choose. I have changed my progress monitoring data collection sheet several times over the past 4 years. I have finally developed one that helps me monitor progress in a more effective and organized manner.

I have included a sample goal with benchmarks in this editable document. You can insert your own information into each goal and copy and paste the entire goal section to add additional goals. I have added 9 columns if you collect data weekly. If you need an additional row, simply tab in the last cell of the graph.

Please share your ideas of how you collect data in the feedback section. I love hearing about what other special educators are doing to document student progress. Thanks! Julie
