Progress with Purpose™ · A PD Series for SPED Teams
Data Tracking and Progress monitoring shouldn't feel this hard.
A professional development series built specifically for special education teams tracking IEP goals: for the SPED teacher entering data at 6pm, the coordinator who can't explain the numbers in the meeting, and the leader who doesn't want the state to find the gaps first.
No pitch. No pressure. Just a real conversation with Olavee about what your team needs.
WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING
If this sounds like your school, you're not alone.
When your SPED teachers show up to PLC meetings, are they walking in with data, or just an opinion?
01
Progress monitoring systems that are unclear or inconsistent from classroom to classroom.
02
IEP goals that are hard to track, and even harder to explain in a meeting.
03
Data is being entered faithfully, but is never actually used to inform instruction.
04
Teachers already stretched thin, now carrying documentation on top of everything else.
05
Leaders who aren't sure students are truly making progress until the state comes to check.
06
Every teacher tracking data their own way, so the numbers never quite tell the same story.
These aren't small problems. They're the ones that turn into compliance findings, burned out teachers, and students who don't get what they need in time.
Bus Driver → Teaching Assistant → SPED Teacher → Instructional Coach → SPED Administrator → Interim Principal → Dean of Students → Founder, TSR
LED BY SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN IN THE BUILDING
Olavee didn't learn this from a policy desk. She learned it inside the classroom.
Her career in education started at the very entry point of a school system: she drove the bus. From there, she became a substitute teacher, a teaching assistant, a classroom teacher, an EC instructional coach, a SPED leader, and eventually an Interim Principal. Twenty years inside real buildings taught her where progress monitoring breaks down, and how to fix it without adding more to your team's plate.
“I've seen schools where teachers enter every piece of SPED data faithfully, only to find it isn't actually informing instruction. This is fixable.”
Your team is trying their best. Progress with Purpose™ is built to meet them where they are, not where a textbook says they should be.

WHO THIS IS BUILT FOR
If you touch IEP data, this series was written with you in mind.
Special Education Teachers
Tracking goals for a full caseload without losing the rest of the day to paperwork.
SPED Coordinators
Trying to make sure every teacher's data means the same thing, building-wide.
School Leaders & Administrators
Who need to walk into a compliance review knowing exactly where things stand.
Instructional Coaches & MTSS Teams
Building tiered support systems with little guidance and even less time.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
Most PD talks about compliance and theory. This one hands your team a system they'll actually use.
Instead of adding more work for teachers, Progress with Purpose™ helps your team build clear, sustainable processes for tracking IEP progress, the kind that hold up under pressure and don't fall apart the week after training.
Your team walks away with strategies they can put to use immediately, not a binder they'll never open again.
Before Progress with Purpose
Five teachers. Five spreadsheets. Five different definitions of "on track."
After Progress with Purpose
One shared system. One clear picture of every student's progress, building-wide
RESERVED FOR BOOKED SCHOOLS
A tracking tool built for the schools who commit to the series.
Schools that book Progress with Purpose™ gain access to a tool built to replace the patchwork of spreadsheets and mismatched systems most SPED teams are stuck using. It's not something we hand out to everyone who books a strategy call. It's something we build into the work with schools who are ready to go all in on their data.
✓ One system for the whole building.
Every teacher enters data the same way, so scores mean the same thing in every classroom.
✓ A dashboard for every student.
Each student's IEP goals and scores live in one place, turned into a chart your team can actually read at a glance.
✓ Teacher logins, organized by classroom.
Teachers sign in, select their section, and see every student on their caseload without digging through files.
✓ Recommendations, not just numbers.
Once scores are entered, the tool points your team toward what to do next, not just what happened.
✓ Built to work alongside what you already use.
Compatible with assessment tools your team already relies on.
Details on what's included come directly from Olavee during your strategy session, once she understands what your school actually needs.
Real experience. Real strategies. Real results.
