Since I am going to the new Intermediate School and I am teaching Emotional Support, I think I am going to try to make my behavior plans and monitoring sheets available online for teachers to update throughout the day. I am thinking that Google docs would work well for this. The teachers that my students have could go in when they have the student and update the behaviors during the day and then at the end of the day I could print the form and send it home. Yes, I did say print and send home but Special Education does seem to run on paper. There would still be an electronic copy of the behavior sheet. If the student changed teachers or had more or less subjects out in the regular education populuation then the Google docs would still be available. A copy would also need to be printed to add to the student's hard copy file. Again, because this is a Special Education student.
I think this is a great idea! It makes it easier for you and the teacher, and it takes less paperwork for both as well!
I agree that Special Education really needs to move to a more paperless approach: the IEP's, ER's, 504's, etc. take up far tooooooooo much paper! I am very happy to hear that you are using Google Docs as a paperless alternative. Instead of printing the file, you could also send a confidential email to parents. That would work if the parents are in more than one home.
As a substitute teacher I have found that students who have these logs try to influence their behavior 'grade' when they hand you a paper report. If a teacher can put their grade on the computer w/out the student pleading over their shoulder for a good report when it isnt appropriate, this would be great!
