ARD/IEP Supports

The Texas SPED Quick Learns is part of the TEA Microlearning Series featuring Working with Paraprofessionals. In this video, educators and instructional leaders will learn strategies for successful collaboration between paraprofessionals and instructional staff.

This video shows one educator sharing how she uses a frequency data collection form. This form is intended for use by teachers, paraprofessionals, and other service providers collecting data for student Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals and baseline data to determine a need for new/updated IEP goals or behavior intervention.

Trial-by-trial data collection is used often for academic tasks. Record data for each opportunity, or trial, the student is given. The data may be reported in trials or in percentages, depending on how the goal is written.
