REWIND Episode 3: Finding Evidence of the Need
from Work Smarter, Not Harder · host WCPSS Program Accountability
“Why are we doing this?”It’s easy to pick a program and run with it—but if you really want to make an impact, it’s more effective to pause, look at the data, and identify what’s truly needed. In this REWIND episode, our colleagues chat with Velinda Prince about how she uses data to guide decisions and find the best ways to support students and staff. Drawing on her extensive experience with data in Special Education, Velinda offers thoughtful insights we’re excited to revisit in this conversation.Blog Link: https://rebrand.ly/FOURcast-BlogSelf-monitoring resource playlist: link FOURcasts: https://rebrand.ly/FOURcastsPaeplow, C., & Rhea, A.
