Classroom teachers, specialists, and special education teachers can use TRENDS to identify concerns related to individual students (e.g., Joanne has received seven referrals already this month) and view data patterns related to these concerns (e.g., Are Joseph’s tantrums more prevalent in the morning or afternoon?). Subsequently, staff may view and implement proactive intervention plans to address these problems.
After you implement your intervention plan, TRENDS tracking allows you to monitor a student's progress and results.
