Free printable IEP data collection sheets
Five sheets, one for each way an IEP goal gets measured. Every one has a prompt-level column, because a result recorded without the level of support behind it cannot show a student fading prompts across the year. Print them, copy them, hand them to a paraeducator. No email address, no account.
Pick the sheet that matches your goal
- Trial-Based IEP Data Sheet — Goals measured as correct trials out of a total.
- Frequency Data Sheet — Goals measured as a count of occurrences.
- Duration Data Sheet — Goals measured in elapsed time.
- Yes / No IEP Data Sheet — Goals recorded as met or not met, once per opportunity.
- Prompt Level Data Sheet — Goals where the question is how much help, not how many correct.
- Interval Recording Sheet — Goals measured as a percentage of intervals.
If you are not sure which one a goal calls for, the data collection method chooser asks a few questions and points you at one. For the reasoning behind each method, the progress monitoring guide goes deeper.
Getting more out of a paper sheet
- Fill in the goal at the top before you copy the stack. A sheet that says which goal it belongs to survives the trip to the filing cabinet.
- Record the session you actually ran. Six trials is data. Six trials rounded up to ten is a number you will have to defend.
- Write the prompt level every time, even when it is independent. “Independent” is the entry that proves growth later.
- Date every row. Undated rows are the single most common reason a stack of sheets cannot become a progress report in the spring.
When the sheet is across the room
Paper is honest and it never loses your data. Its one failure is distance: the moment worth recording happens while the clipboard sits on your desk. Evident Capture is a free Chrome extension that records the same data point from whatever tab you are already in, in about ten seconds, offline included.
