Joining us on Episode 129 is Michelle Vazquez, a highly experienced resource specialist and special education teacher based in Southern California. Michelle has been dedicated to the education sector for nearly 14 years, and her passion for supporting special education teachers is evident through her own podcast, 'Stepping Into Special Education.' When she's not spending time in the classroom, Michelle enjoys quality time with her husband and two young boys, often exploring the magical world of Disneyland.

Today, we are discussing a crucial topic that applies to every one of us: collecting and organizing data in preparation for those all-important IEP meetings.

Listen in as we discuss:

• Effective methods and strategies for collecting data 
• Determining the most appropriate data collection methods based on the specific needs of students
• Ensuring data accuracy, reliability, and consistency 
• Common challenges and obstacles faced by special educators when collecting data for IEPs and strategies to address them for accurate and meaningful data collection
• Organization and analysis of collected data for IEPs, including helpful tools and systems to facilitate the process
• Examples illustrating how data collected for an IEP can inform instructional decisions, drive interventions modifications, and track student progress over time.
• Effective communication and data sharing strategies with the IEP team
