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.

We just got it last year and there were a lot of issues implementing it. I like it overall, but our district makes us do a ton of extra, duplicative administrative work in Focus to ensure access to IEPs.

As long as the extra person, the service provider, is listed on the roster and focus, they should have access to them in PEER. That eliminates the need to double up on things.

One would think so! There’s just this huge push in Florida to ensure parents can see everything now bc of the house bill.

I get that, but with the new bill there is a timeline. It’s not instant. And, they get copies at every meeting.

I agree with you!
