It is important to collect progress on IEP goals. By collecting the process it allows for the teacher, parents and others involved to see how much progress the child has been made since it was last measured. It is important to continuously track the progress so the areas that the child needs more help in can be addressed. It also helps show what areas the child is really improving in and what things worked. This helps the teacher determine what kinds of activities are working and what kind of activities need to be added.
