Progress Monitoring and Data Collection

School is now well underway and let's just say it has been a hectic start.   So hectic that I have not posted anything since July!!! With that said, it seems like I am getting into the swing of things being back in the world of special education! First, I wanted to share a really fantastic tool that can be used to progress monitor students in reading.  Though grades K-3 have MClass to progress monitoring students, what I love about this tool is that you do not have to be with the student to complete the progress monitoring.  The program is called Reading Recs and is completely free for teachers and students through SAS Curriculum Pathways.  Teachers are able to create an account for each of their students and then assign them passages on their level.  The program records their voice reading so that the teacher can go back later and score for accuracy.  It also includes retell, open ended, and multiple choice to check for comprehension!

The other program I am using this year to help with data collection is Evernote.  When I collected student data in the past, each of my students would have a notebook or I would have a large notebook where I would keep work samples and other information.  Not only do I have a limit on copies this year but I also wanted to save paper and have one easy, central location to access data on my students.  I love Evernote to store data for several reasons. First, you are able to create "notebooks" for each student to store all of their information.  I am able to scan in assessments that have been given and to store work samples I either take a picture with my ipad or scan them in with my school copier and save them into their notebook.  I also love Evernote because you are able to send emails that you receive from teachers, parents, and other support personnel right to the students "notebook" in Evernote.  Click on the picture below and check it out!

  1. С каждым годом распространение аллергических заболеваний увеличивается. В основе этого лежит действие различных факторов.
    Во-первых, большую роль играет ликвидация эпидемических заболеваний. Механизмы этого явления многообразны. Логично предположить, что широкое распространение эпидемических заболеваний с сильными антигенами их возбудителей конкурентно тормозило реакцию организма на аллергены окружающей среды, которые, как правило, являются более слабыми антигенами. Поэтому ликвидация эпидемий сняла это торможение.

    Во-вторых, важную роль в настоящее время имеет быстрое развитие химической промышленности и увеличение контакта людей на производстве и дома с широким спектром химических веществ, многие из которых становятся для людей аллергенами.
    В-третьих, значительно выросло потребление различных лекарственных препаратов, особенно их бесконтрольный прием.
    В-четвертых, влияет широкое применение профилактических прививок, которые сенсибилизируют организм и могут вызывать аллергические реакции.
