This recorded webinar focuses on how schools and educators can measure student progress in a meaningful, data-driven way to support instructional planning and continuous improvement. The session emphasizes the importance of using assessment data to understand student growth over time rather than relying on single data points or age-based expectations. Educators are guided through best practices for interpreting results to make informed instructional decisions that support all learners.
A central focus of the webinar is the use of the Desired Results Developmental Profile (DRDP) and DR Access Reports as tools for monitoring developmental and learning progress. The presenters explain how these reports can be used to examine performance across key developmental domains and to track progress for children with Individualized Family Service Plans (IFSPs) and Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). By reviewing domain-level data and overall patterns, educators learn how to identify strengths, areas of need, and meaningful indicators of growth.
Throughout the session, participants are shown how to use DRDP and DR Access Reports during the school year to support ongoing progress monitoring and instructional planning. The webinar highlights strategies for distinguishing between children who are meeting expectations, those who are approaching developmental benchmarks, and those who may benefit from targeted supports or interventions. Practical examples illustrate how assessment data can inform instructional adjustments and help teams evaluate the impact of their teaching strategies.
The webinar also demonstrates how DR Access Reports can support collaborative data discussions among teachers, instructional coaches, service providers, and administrators. By using shared reports and visual data displays, school teams can engage in productive conversations about student progress while maintaining a focus on individual development and program goals. Emphasis is placed on using assessment data as a reflective and instructional tool rather than a compliance-only requirement.
Designed for educators, administrators, and early learning teams, this webinar builds confidence in using DRDP assessment data and DR Access Reports to measure progress, support children with IFSPs and IEPs, and strengthen data-informed instructional decision-making.
