prepared for life beyond school. She has been using RethinkEd in her classroom for two years.

RethinkEd has helped Mrs. Morris, her paraprofessionals, and students grow and succeed in the classroom. By utilizing lessons from the lesson library and quick-start data library, Mrs. Morris can create individualized lesson plans and goals. The data sheets and printed lesson plans (in one easy location) help her and the

paraprofessionals in her classroom to work together. Entering data and detailed notes in the RethinkEd app allows for increased collaboration.

Together, Mrs. Morris and her paraprofessionals review the data and determine if the student is generalizing the skills with another teacher in another setting and can visualize how quickly the student can respond. Because the data sheets are easy to read and use, both the teachers and paraprofessionals can efficiently document when working with students.
One of her favorite outcomes of using RethinkEd is that it has resulted in

less questions from the paraprofessionals about what they should work on and how they should document what they do. The paraprofessionals feel more successful and in turn are students are more successful!

Mrs. Morris is excited and ready to meet her 2018 Classroom goals using RethinkEd!
