- Choose Record a support change in Decisions, or use the optional step after saving a goal or behavior plan edit.
- Add what changed, why (optional), and the starting date. Save record keeps the dated entry without requesting reviews.
- To request reviews, turn on Ask teammates to review this change, select teammates, and choose Save and request review. They see the request in Evident.
- Each person sees the change on the student, on their Today view or the student page, until they choose Read, I have a question, or I need training on this.
- The Decisions section on the Goals tab lists every change, each response, and who is still waiting.
- A change linked to a goal draws a dated phase line on that goal's full graph, so the team can see whether the change worked.
When you change how a goal or behavior plan is run, save what changed and why in Decisions. Saving the record and asking teammates to review it are separate choices. You can save a record even when nobody else is on the student's team.
When Evident offers it
Choose Record a support change in Decisions to save a dated record, with or without teammates. After a goal edit that teammates would act on, Record a support change can also appear with What changed already drafted. Change the wording freely; the draft only saves typing.
Saving a behavior plan works the same way: the confirmation offers Tell the team, which opens the same dialog for the plan.
Choose Not now or Cancel to leave without recording the support change or requesting reviews. Any goal or behavior plan edit you already saved stays saved.
Say what changed, why, and from when
What changed is the one required field. Why (optional) is for what the data showed or what you are trying next. Starting is the date the change takes effect and defaults to today. In Decisions, choose a Related goal (optional) to mark that goal's graph after saving; the marker appears when the graph has observations and includes its date. No related goal keeps the date in Decisions without marking a goal graph. Changes opened from a goal keep that goal linked.
Teammate review is optional and starts off. Save record keeps the dated entry in Decisions without asking anyone to respond. To ask for review, turn on Ask teammates to review this change and select the people who need to respond. Save and request review saves the same record and shows those teammates a review request in Evident.
What the team sees and how they respond
Each person you chose sees a banner on the student, on the Today view for a para or aide and at the top of the student page for everyone else, that says who changed the plan, from when, what changed, and why. It stays until they respond, and shows at most two waiting changes at a time.
They choose Read, I have a question (which asks for the question), or I need training on this. The response is recorded with their name and is visible to the whole team, so a question or a training request is not lost in a hallway conversation.
Find every change in Decisions
The Decisions section on the student's Goals tab lists each change with its starting date, its author, the goal or behavior plan it belongs to, what changed, why, and every response, with a Waiting on line for anyone who has not answered yet.
The author can withdraw a change from Decisions. Withdrawing removes the change and every response to it.
See the change on the graph
Open a goal's full graph (tap the sparkline or choose View graph) and each announced change appears as a dated phase line. Comparing the sessions before and after the line is the usual way to judge whether a change to prompting, reinforcement, or the target made a difference.
Frequently asked questions
Does Evident tell the team automatically when I edit a goal?
No. It offers, after an edit a teammate would act on, and only when someone else is on the student. You decide whether to send it and to whom.
Can a para or aide announce a change?
No. A para or aide share can log data and respond to a change, but does not edit goals or behavior plans, so there is nothing for them to announce. Co-teacher and specialist shares, the student's owner, and case managers can.
Can I see who has not responded?
Yes. Each change in Decisions ends with a Waiting on line naming the people who have not yet responded.
Where does the change show on the graph?
As a dated phase line at the Starting date you gave, on the goal's full graph. Sessions before and after the line are the same data; only the marker is added.
