Aspen Helpful Hints
Several querying options are available to help with entering data under fidelity checks and progress monitoring. For example...setting up data entry for progress reporting before the meeting. After clicking the Select button to choose students, click on the button next to Query. Type RTI in the search area and click the magnifying glass. You will see several options including RTI- Active Math All, RTI- Active Reading Tier 2, RTI Students Active- All, and more. Using a query allows you to use the control+D feature to fill in area of need and tier level as a group instead of individually. The video below walks you through the process. The names of students have been blurred out.
