Progress Monitoring Made Simple: How to Set Goals and Track What Matters
Tired of collecting data that doesn’t actually change instruction?
You’re required to collect data.
But most of the time, it feels like a checkbox, disconnected from your lessons, your goals, and your students’ real progress.
When you understand how to use the data you already have to set meaningful goals and track only what matters, progress monitoring becomes something you’ll actually look forward to.
This training walks you through how to set goals, track data efficiently, and use those insights to drive student growth, step-by-step.
Join us in this one-hour PD and get the toolkit to make all that data useful.
If you’re like most educators, you may be…
➡️ Collecting numbers, checklists, and progress reports that don’t actually tell you what to do next.
➡️ Running universal screeners, pulling weekly probes, and filling out forms, yet the results feel disconnected from what’s happening in your lessons.
➡️ Teaching in one lane, assessing in another (and somewhere in between, the connection and meaning gets lost).
All that effort ends up feeling like busywork instead of insight.
It’s not that you need to do more. You just need a way to make everything you’re already doing connect.
That’s exactly what this training is designed to do. It provides a simple, connected system that finally makes data work for you.
In this one-hour PD training, you’ll learn how to:
Identify student needs using the data you already have
Set clear, measurable goals that guide instruction
Collect and interpret data quickly using simple tracking
Adjust instruction based on patterns you can actually see
You’ll walk away with everything you need to make progress monitoring easy and effective:
➡️ 1-hour PD certificate (you can submit for professional learning credit)
➡️ Progress Monitoring Toolkit with hundreds of progress monitoring probes, ready-to-use templates, tracking sheets, goal-setting prompts, and interpretation guides
➡️ Lifetime access so you can revisit the process anytime you need a refresh
Because once you see how seamlessly data can fit into your teaching, you’ll never go back to guessing what’s working again.
Who This is For:
Reading interventionists and specialists who want a clear system for tracking literacy growth
Classroom teachers tired of juggling data that doesn’t connect to their lessons
Special educators and tutors looking for quick, meaningful ways to track student progress
School leaders wanting to bring clarity and consistency to how teams collect and use data
If you’ve ever thought, “I’m collecting all this data, but I’m not sure what to do with it,” this training is for you.
Because when progress monitoring clicks, everything changes.
You stop second-guessing where to focus next, your instruction becomes more focused, and students start to see (and feel) their growth. Instead of feeling buried by data, you finally feel guided by it.
