BRIGANCE IED 4 Case Studies
These Case Studies provide example educator and student use cases that demonstrate different ways the IED 4 may be used in different contexts, including how data can be used to develop goals and objectives.
BRIGANCE IED 4 Data Recording Options To supplement the Record Book, these digital resources include the following optional data recording forms.
The Evaluation Summary form can be completed after each evaluation to record an overall narrative summary and highlights regarding the student’s preferences, interests, performance, and progress.
The Assessment Tracker can be used to record the date(s) specific assessments were administered as well as any observations about the student’s performance.
Each section’s Class Record Book lists assessment items from that section that can be administered to a group of students at the same time. These resources allow an educator to easily record data for up to 25 students on a single form for a given assessment. Skill data can then be transferred to an individual student’s Record Book as needed.
BRIGANCE IED 4 Teacher ToolsBRIGANCE IED 4 Commonly Reproduced PagesThe following reproducible selections from Volumes 1 and 2 of the IED 4 are presented as a supplement for the convenience of educators. They are optimized for printing to prevent the need to photocopy pages from the binders.
Comprehensive and Supplemental Skill Sequences
The Comprehensive Skill Sequences are detailed lists of developmentally sequenced skills that include the milestone skills from the corresponding assessments as well as additional intermediate skills. Augmenting an evaluation with the Comprehensive Skill Sequences can help pinpoint a student’s current strengths and needs along a broader skill continuum and track their ongoing progress in smaller incremental steps. Although specific assessment procedures for the intermediate skills are not included in the IED 4, these skills can be assessed using the same assessment method used for the milestone assessment.
The Supplemental Skill Sequences provide optional lists of supplemental skills that can be used or modified to track student progress in specific skill areas not covered by IED 4 milestone assessments. Assessing the skills in these lists can further help educators meet student and program needs. Although specific assessment procedures for these skills are not included in the IED 4, many of the skills can be assessed using observation and interview.
