Special Educators Resource Room Podcast: Real Talk for Special Education Teachers

110. The Truth About Data Collection (And Why You’re Doing Too Much)


Listen Later

Data collection doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. In this episode, I’m getting real about the struggles of tracking all the things and why most of us are doing way too much. You’ll learn how to streamline your data collection process, focus on what matters, and use tools like independent work systems to simplify your life.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why more data doesn’t equal better teaching.
  • Simple strategies to track meaningful progress without the overwhelm.
  • How to use task boxes, file folders, and work binders as built-in data tools.

Stop drowning in binders and paperwork—it’s time to collect less and teach more!
