7.1. Principal
Discussion:
After speaking with teachers, our MTSS Core team, and some our Steering committee, we would like to purchase a program that will house all data sources in one place which is very handy when we discuss students in our MTSS meetings, MDT/IEP meetings, and just having this source available to check on a student's progress throughout the year at any time. I am suggesting OTUS as an option for this. It is a little pricey at first glance, but when you break it down you can see the value in it. It would be a one stop shop to see all of our student data from test scores to discipline, to individualized plans.
I am just introducing this to you now and will bring it up again next month. I am having the company present at our next In-Service Day on March 19 to our MTSS and Steering Committees. |
