Begin to create a database so that you can chart the student’s progress over time. Identify and implement research-based instructional strategies. Build a relationship with the parents.

How to document student learning Use the academic categories from the IEP. Grade level expectations for specific content area. Create three means of collecting evidence: 1) a portfolio system, 2) a spread sheet with graphing capabilities, and 3) a narrative that summarizes the student’s performance using quantitative and qualitative data.
