Goal Progress
Goal progress that keeps itself up to date.
Every related log and observation counts toward the right goal, so the review meeting starts with data collected all term.

A replacement-behavior goal, explained
Fewer hard moments is half the story. The other half is the skill.
A replacement-behavior goal names what the student will do instead of the target behavior. Progress is the share of related moments where the student used the replacement behavior, measured against the target percent the team set.
Progress is tracked per behavior goal, from the logs and observations related to that goal. A student with three goals has three separate lines of progress.
Progress that moves
Every time a use is logged, the goal moves.
No tally sheets, no end-of-quarter data hunt. The log a teacher already made is the data point.
A moment is logged

Goals that stall stand out well before the review date.

Breakdown by setting
Strong in reading. Still hard in science lab.
The same goal, split by setting and class period. When a skill holds in reading but not in science lab, the team knows exactly where to add support, instead of rewriting a goal that is working most of the day.
- Progress toward the target percent, per goal
- Breakdown by setting and class period
- Settings with no data shown as no data, not as zero

Same student record
Where this connects
