1. Understanding Your Dashboard

After signing in, you'll see a personalized dashboard for your student with:

• Summary Cards - Quick overview of goals, progress entries, and average rating
• Intervention Goals - The specific goals set for your student with baseline and target values
• Progress Charts - Visual line graphs showing progress ratings over time for each goal
• Recent Activity - A feed of all progress entries logged by teachers and parents

2. Logging Progress

Regular progress logging is essential for tracking your student's growth. To log progress:

• Select a Goal - Choose which intervention goal this observation relates to, or leave as "General observation" for overall notes
• Write Your Observation - Describe what you observed. Be specific about behaviors, achievements, or challenges
• Rate Progress (1-5) - Give an honest assessment of how the student is progressing toward their goal
• Set the Date - Use today's date or select a past date if logging a previous observation
• Select Your Role - Indicate whether you're logging as a teacher or parent

3. Understanding Progress Ratings

The 1-5 rating scale helps quantify progress toward each goal:

• 1 - Significant Difficulty - Student is struggling considerably with this goal
• 2 - Some Difficulty - Progress is below expectations, additional support needed
• 3 - Making Progress - Student is on track with expected development
• 4 - Good Progress - Student is exceeding expectations
• 5 - Excellent Progress - Student has mastered or nearly mastered this goal

4. Reading Progress Charts

Each goal with logged progress shows a line chart displaying ratings over time. Use these charts to:

• Identify trends - Is progress generally improving, stable, or declining?
• Spot patterns - Are there certain times when progress dips or improves?
• Celebrate wins - Visual evidence of improvement is motivating for everyone!
• Inform decisions - Use data to discuss adjustments to the intervention plan

5. Collaboration Between Teachers & Parents

This portal allows both teachers and parents to log observations. Each entry shows who logged it, creating a complete picture of the student's progress across environments.

6. Monitoring Cycles & Timeline

Your intervention case follows a structured 12-month monitoring period divided into 4 cycles of 3 months each:

• 4 Monitoring Cycles - Each cycle lasts 3 months (approximately 12 weeks). The cycle badge at the top of your dashboard shows which cycle you're currently in (e.g., "Cycle 2 of 4").
• Cycle Transitions - When a cycle ends, you'll see a review modal where you can review your progress and continue to the next cycle. All your data is preserved across cycles.
• Cycle Warnings - A warning banner appears when your current cycle is ending soon, giving you time to review progress and prepare for the next cycle.
• After 4 Cycles - After completing all 4 cycles (12 months total), the case becomes read-only. Download your progress reports before this date!

7. Print & Reports

Download and print essential documents from your dashboard:

• Offline Tracking Form - A printable 12-week tracking sheet for handwritten progress notes when you're away from the computer
• Progress Report - A comprehensive summary with goal statistics, trends (improving/stable/declining), average ratings, and recent entries - perfect for IEP meetings or parent conferences
