Part I: Identification of Learning Problem

Briefly describe your target audience.


● Five SPED teachers at Harlem High School. Two of the teachers are CCETS teachers.
Our CCETS program is for students with behavior problems. We have two teachers that
teach the ASD classes. The last teacher is the interrelated teacher.

Revision:
The primary audience consists of certified SPED teachers of all ages, experience levels, and
technology skill levels.The targeted audience teaches or provides supportive education services
to Special Needs Students in the grades of 9-12 (ages of these students vary widely from 14-21
years). All High School SPED Teachers in the state of Georgia are required to implement a
transition plan for each child’s IEP folder. All high school SPED teachers in the district will
have to receive the Transition Improvement Training using Infinite Campus. All SPED teachers
hired by the Columbia County Board of Education are Highly Qualified. Training will be done at
each high school. The first training will be conducted at Harlem High School. Harlem is the
smallest school with a student population of 650 students. They have a total of 48 students
receiving special services and 5 SPED teachers.

Describe the problem and explain how it was identified.

● Our facilitator have called a meeting to discuss our transition plans and the lack of
assessments and planning documented on the IEP’s. She also addressed the fact that we
are using the same goals repeatedly. She emphasized using our community resources and
discussing obtainable goals with our students. Students should also talk about their goals
during their IEP meeting. We want to involve the students.

Revision:
The Special Service department at Columbia County Board of Education is implementing a new
procedure for submitting IEP’s. Beginning in the academic year of 2018-2019 teachers will use
Infinite Campus to access and complete student’s IEP forms. Teachers will have continual
access. The new system is the GO-IEP. GO-IEP can be used by systems with Infinite Campus.
The district currently uses Infinite Campus for posting grades, attendance, and parent portal.

The GO-IEP is an online application that allows teachers to write federally compliant IEP’s, with
an easy to use interface and internal check that help teachers avoid the most common compliance
issues. The application will store district IEP information and make reporting real-time and
nearly effortless. LEA’s will have the ability to pull documents and data from teacher’s
online/electronic folders. GO-IEP is an extension of and is accessed through the statewide
Longitudinal Data System, Or SLDS therefore; all student’s information will be prepopulated
with all relevant data which GaDOE is able to access.

Because Columbia County School District currently uses the Infinite Campus system, no new
technology will be needed. Infinite Campus tools will be added to the platform by the school’s
technology specialist. LEA’s have completed their training. The Assistant Superintendent of
Special Services have outlined the training schedule and the training sessions will begin at the
High Schools (Harlem High School). The first session will be the IEP Transition Part of the
plan. In the High School Level, the Transition Plan and Goals are the keys to the student’s
future. The transition plan is a formal process of cooperative planning that will assist students
with disabilities to move from school into the adult world.

The Transition Improvement Training on Infinite Campus will consist of two parts. The first part
will teach teachers how to navigate through the application. The next part of the training will
demonstrate how to effectively write and submit the transition plan. Direct Instruction will be
used to present the information.

Formally state the goal of your instruction


● The goal of the instruction is to provide the training needed to​ ​implement a thoroughly
written transition plan based on the needs of the student.

Part II: Learner Analysis

Introduction:

The primary audience consists of certified five SPED teachers of all ages, experience levels, and
technology skill levels. The teachers range in ages from 35 to 65 years of age. There are 2 male
teachers and 3 female teachers. Their experience levels are from 15 to 25 years of experience in
Special Education. Only one of the teachers have taught outside of Columbia County School
District. The targeted group is comprised of four Caucasians and one African American. All the
teachers are highly qualified in Special Education. One of the teachers have an Adaptive PE
certification. All teachers have supportive classroom setting except for the interrelated teacher.
They each have one paraprofessional except for the teacher with lower functioning ASD
students, he has three paraprofessionals. The interrelated teacher does not have a
paraprofessional. All of the teachers have a T-6 certification in Special Education. The need for a
new system for entering IEP data is extremely agree of importunate to four of the teachers and
one of the teachers see the need as mildly important. All five of the teachers are willing to
participate in the GO-IEP training. Teachers were given a questionnaire to determine their ages,
years of experience, previous jobs, certification levels, certification areas, and their attitude
towards the new system for entering IEP’s. Other data was collected by interviewing and
observing.

Entry Skills and Prior Knowledge


· ​Able to log into Infinite Campus
· ​Able to enter attendance and gradebook entries into Infinite Campus
· ​Mastery of navigating tools and menu in Infinite Campus
· ​Able to create goals and objective in the Transition Part of the IEP
· ​Know the terms used to complete the Transition Part of the IEP
· ​Able to follow Columbia County Special Services rules for completing IEP’s

Attitudes Towards Content & Academic Motivation


All five of the Special Education teachers are interested in learning the new system, GO-IEP for
entering and submitting IEP’s and Improving their Transition Part on the IEP’s. They are all
concerned with the limited information and resources available for entering data in the Transition
Part of the IEP’s. The main motivation is the need to receive information that will create
Transition Plans that will help students with life outside of the Educational Setting. One of the
teachers expressed their excitement to learn the new system because of the ability to submit data
electronically instead of taking the completed documents to the Board Office.
Education Ability Levels
All the learners are currently using Infinite Campus for entering grades and attendance. All
learners have a T-6 certification in Special Education. All learners currently complete IEP’s
using the Columbia County Data System. Two of the teachers received an Outstanding Audit on
their IEP check. Three of the teachers received a mark of Good with 2 errors on their IEP audits.
All of the errors where in the Transition Section of the IEP’s.

General Learning Preference


The learners expressed a preference for hands on activities and online learning through Google
Classroom. They would like for the facilitator to be available to answer any questions during the
workshop or presentation. They would also like to create an effective Transition Plan during the
GO-IEP workshop.

Attitude Toward Teachers and School


All learners work well with each other. There is a very tight bond between the Special Education
Teachers. Learners rely on each other for support and advice. They often meet outside of
educational setting. All learners love their school. They have a very supportive principal and
assistant principals. Two of the learners believe that Special Services should listen more to their
concerns.

Group Characteristics
All the learners teach in the smallest high school in Columbia County. Learners are active in the
SPED community. They all participate in the SPED Prom, Buddy Club, and Special Olympics.
All learners have the same facilitator. The learners are required to communicate throughout the
day with each other using radios. Communication between the learners is very important.
Learners are familiar with all of the students in the supportive classrooms. All learners are
required to meet with parents and discuss IEP’s annually. All of the learners are trained in mind
set training and have students who have been diagnosis as Autistic.

Part III :Task Analysis


I conducted the task analysis using both a topic analysis and a procedural analysis to acquire the
information needed. Most of the learning will be procedural. I created a detailed outline using the
steps needed to perform each procedure in using Infinite Campus. I used the information on the
DOE page to ensure that I accurately notated each step. The Department of Education website
was very helpful.

After outlining the procedural data, I created a new outline with my topic analysis. In the outline
I addressed the key elements of Infinite Campus. What is Infinite Campus? What are the benefits
of using Infinite Campus? Accessing Georgia Online IEP (GO-IEP) using Infinite Campus to
enter student’s Transition Plan.

Significant attitudes observed during the topic analysis included using Google Classroom to
access information and collaborate with each other. Google Classroom will be the platform used
to provide learning instructions. Access to information, sharing ideas, and knowledge are key
elements when encouraging teachers to promote Infinite Campus and the benefits of using the
tool to access IEP data and enter Transition Plans.
Once I had both outlines, I compiled them into one task analysis outline. The first part of the
outline addresses the topic analysis which includes the relevance of using Infinite Campus for
accessing Georgia Online IEP (GO-IEP). Other useful information concerning the Transition
plan was included at or before the relevant procedures are introduced to the learners. The final

Part VIII: Formative Evaluation Plan

Expert
My colleague, Mrs. C Tucker will conduct a short questionnaire for review of the
instructional materials. She has been a Special Education teacher for over 10 years
and a facilitator for 15 years. The main goal at this stage is to review the overall
opinions of the learners and the effectiveness of the delivery of the instruction and
the performance of Infinite Campus as a new IEP data collector.
I would provide all of the information regarding the new procedure for entering
IEPs. I would also show her the presentation showing the step by step procedures
for entering IEps and allow her to enter data. Her feedback will be used to
determine if any changes need to be made in the lessons also.

Data Collection
My data collection plan is to give the questionnaire below after the fifth lesson of
the training section. The learners have entered data into Infinite Campus for the
first time. The survey will be conducted to rate the overall opinions of the step by
step process used as guidance and the overall ease of using a new application to
enter data.
Mrs. Tucker will take learners individually and ask them the questions on the
questionnaire, writing down their responses or anything else they may tell her.
Learners will be encouraged to express their feelings.

One-On-One Evaluation Questions


1. Was the presentation and step by step instructions easy to follow when
entering data into Infinite Campus? Why or why not
2. Have the lessons provided information concerning Transition Plans that you
will use in the future?
3. What is your opinion concerning the new procedural for entering IEPs?

Analyze Data
Mrs. Tucker and I would analyze the data by compiling the findings and using the
data to improve instructions for future IEP workshops.
