Behavior Tracking Sheet for self-assessment
By Rebekah Poe Teaching
Students can complete this behavior tracker to show how well they were able to:
Follow directions
Participate
Have a positive attitude
Stay on task
Complete work
I added room for the teacher to write in how many (if any) prompts are acceptable to follow directions and stay on task. I also left room for a percentage of work that should be completed. I know often my special education students struggle to complete assignments due to lack of focus, etc. So I might put that one student needs to complete 70% of his assignment and then gradually increase it. There is space for that to be written in in the chart.
Students can choose a big smiley face, a small smiling face, and a frowning face to show how well they were able to maintain the directives. At the bottom there is room for teacher signature and comments. At the top, the student has space to write what assignment he or she is assessing.
Two sheets print per page to save paper.

IEP at-a-glance form
By Rebekah Poe Teaching
Use these certificates to celebrate when an IEP goal has been met! Students will be excited to receive an award for their hard work, and parents, guardians, and gen ed teachers will know the goal has been met. Includes a place to write which goal has been mastered. Prints as a 5x7, so two print per page. Use colorful cardstock to make it pop!
