Designed for Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions with non-SpEd students. Track up to 50 students' progress across a single school year.
Designed for Special Education. For a single student, track progress on multiple IEP goals across a calendar year.
Designed to monitor undesired behaviors rather than skill growth. Graph frequency, duration, and/or intensity for each target behavior.
iAscend MTSS and iAscend IEP both feature quick set up tables. As relevant data is entered, it automatically populates across tabs in the spreadsheet and completes half of your set up.
Trendline slope > aimline slope = student likely to be making adequate progress = cells turn GREEN
Aimline slope > trendline slope = student not likely to be making adequate progress = cells turn RED
This information is collected in a centralized analysis table, providing school teams with a quick snapshot of either group intervention data review (iAscend MTSS) or a student's progress on multiple IEP goals (iAscend IEP). It is important to note that this automatic analysis feature is a powerful and useful timesaving measure that allows teams to prioritize, but it does not replace visual analysis of graphs.
iAscend IEP graphs data over a full calendar year, from IEP date to IEP date.
iAscend is free to use by interested school districts and educational programs. When using iAscend materials, I ask that you do not remove copyright notation referring to Nic van Oss. I also ask that you do not modify iAscend IEP, MTSS, or BSP without contacting me. For more information and questions regarding use of iAscend, please contact me.
