This comprehensive guide explains Progress Monitoring in K–12 schools, helping parents understand how educators track a student’s academic and behavioral growth over time. You’ll learn what progress monitoring is, how it’s used within systems like MTSS and special education, and why it matters for making informed instructional decisions. The resource outlines how schools collect and review data—such as reading fluency scores or behavior tracking charts—to determine if interventions are working and whether changes are needed. It includes examples of progress monitoring tools, typical timelines, and key questions parents can ask to stay informed and involved. This Kansas-focused guide emphasizes that consistent monitoring ensures students get the right support at the right time and helps prevent learning gaps from widening. Perfect for parents involved in IEPs, 504 plans, or general education, and looking to partner with schools in using data to help their child succeed.

Brett is one of the most thoughtful practitioners I have worked with in my career. He is extremely thorough in his psychological evaluations. In therapy, he is as empathetic as he is competent in working with people who are facing great challenges.
