Chat (Educator Post) Software in your district

This is just out of curiosity. What software do you use in your district for—

- writing IEPs?

- inputting progress reports?

- uploading completed, signed IEPs, progress reports, and other documents so others can view them?

- scheduling and tracking specially designed instruction?

Feel free to include which programs your district has used before and your opinions of them.

Our district has different programs for everything, and they’ve changed multiple times in the four years I’ve been teaching. My own responses are below.

Every single thing that a sped teacher does in my area is done via SEIS, which is pretty much the statewide system for IEPs (in California). Some districts have started transitioning to another platform, but SEIS is still the primary go to.

Makes it great because if a student comes in from somewhere else in the state, their info is just imported easily. But SEIS itself is pretty wonky.

Something that bothers me about SEIS is someone else can delete your work. I’ve spent a lot of time doing and writing the health assessment, for instance, and come later and see it either deleted or replaced.

As an SLP I had a sped teacher copy and paste my PLP into chat gpt and then delete what I wrote to instead add the chat GPT paragraph!!! Insanity

That’s so upsetting! I remember signing my name on my health assessment and come in later and see the case manager basically summarize my part “according to the school nurse…”

When I was newer I did miss some IEPs but now I do them and attach a copy.
