Discuss the following:
1. Rationale explaining why ongoing assessment is an essential part of every IFSP/IEP.
2. At least three ways to assess students' progress on IFSP/IEP goals during instructional time.
3. At least two ways to document assessments on progress notes.
4. How technology can be used for ongoing assessment, tracking progress monitoring data, and sharing data/progress monitoring with other team members.
