Before meeting with a general education teacher to discuss a student, I always come prepared with a specific set of questions. These questions are used so that you can quickly get all of the information that you might need for an upcoming IEP.
This was mostly used, when I was a special education teacher, used with teachers on a departmental schedule. I have also used this in the primary education as well.
Questions: strengths, weaknesses, directions, prepared, and more!
I used this consultation form for general education teachers to fill out before writing an Initial IEP. This was a way to fully understand how the student was within the classroom other than my observations that were completed.

Page 2: examples of each category
The teacher would fill it out and send it back to me through e-mail. This was a perfect tool to use, when your students are on a departmental schedule.
Slips that you can print out, and have available to send home with a student. This is a quick and easy way to communicate their progress / most recent reading level.

I used this tool as a special education teacher, and with my tier 3 students as a general education teacher. This is a clear progress monitoring tool that is a good visual during conferences and for data talks.
I was able to use this with NWEA content area goals, or whatever goal the student(s) were trying to reach.
I created and utilized this goal sheet when I was a grades 4-8 resource teacher. This was a good way for me to create a dialogue about goal setting, help my students become more self aware, and motivated. This also showed them, that I was just as invested in their education as they were. This was important for them to see.
A great organizational tool that can be utilized for virtual instruction or in person. It allows the teacher to track engagement, collect data, and track student skills. Can be utilized for any subject and any grade level. There are 2 formats. - Whole class tracker - Small Group tracker For more ideas go to my instagram: walker_weekly_learning
