Testimonials
"Goal Tracker is an amazing tool that assists in data keeping and more importantly decision making. This is the first tool that I have used that actually analyzed data by keeping averages and showing goal mastery. Goal Tracker has many features such as giving a running average on progress, line graphs, mastery criteria, ability to enter unlimited goals, ability to customize student attendance days, levels of difficulty, ability to create student groups for lesson plans. Data can be printed with graphs and by school quarters or even yearly. Data is easy to enter and the program is very easy to learn and use.
"I have been a school SLP for over 30 years in the Lees Summit School District and have tried many data keeping systems through the years that involved paper pencil, large notebooks, graphs, hours spent averaging numbers to calculate if a student had met a goal. Goal Tracker will do all of this for you and more! Finally, I feel secure if I were ever involved in a Due Process hearing that I would have the data to back me up. I was so impressed that we presented it to our SLP staff of 30 plus team members and our Director of Special Education in Lee's Summit. All the SLPs were hopeful that we would adopt Goal Tracker as our data keeping program. I have also used Goal Tracker in private therapy as well. It works great to track progress and to share with parents so they can actually see the goals/graphs with the progress made."
"Goal Tracker is the easiest, most accurate data collection system I have ever used. The multi-faceted system lets you keep everything from basic information to elaborately structured, individualized reports. Before Goal Tracker, I had my data in three giant notebooks and everything was figured manually. I dreaded end of the quarter reports with all those hand calculations. Now, I am virtually ready to print my progress reports the day after the end of the quarter. I can spend my time stress free with my students and I no longer have to put in extra time after school or at home on paperwork. I absolutely love it."
"I already had a data collection system: I would lug home a box full of data every weekend and spend hours determining if my students were making progress, so I could make appropriate instructional decisions. When I found out I could fit all my data on a flash drive, I figured I would give Goal Tracker a try.
Goal Tracker is very versatile by allowing me to set up various data units (i.e. yes/no, minutes, feet), multiple data lines (independent vs. prompted), and mastery criteria (i.e. 3/4 days, 2/3 weeks) to measure the skills of all my students. Summarization of progress is automatically displayed in a variety of formats (trend lines, graphs, averages, goal progress meter) as I enter data. The goal progress meter helps me to quickly determine whether adequate progress is being made. Once the student has mastered the goal based on the criteria I have entered, mastery notification is automatically displayed. Goal Tracker allows you to print the data in various formats that can be shared and easily understood by parents and other team members.
The live support that Goal Tracker provides is invaluable. I have been amazed at the quick responses and the addition of new features that have been requested by others and myself.
Ultimately, I was surprised to find goal tracker was more valuable than just not having to carry all those notebooks home. Goal Tracker has saved me valuable time and is incredibly easy to learn."
"Goal Tracker has been a very effective data management tool. The automatic graphing feature has saved time and allows IEP teams to quickly and easily review progress for a student. Additionally, it is a great tool to support effective teaching and monitor student progress. Program developers have been very responsive to questions and have provided trainings as needed to groups and individuals. Goal Tracker is easy to use and maintain. Data management is easier using Goal Tracker than any other system I have used."
"I have really enjoyed using Goal Tracker and would recommend it to any teacher. This program has also made my life so much easier in keeping up with data for mastery of my student's IEP's and for providing parents with information on how their children are progressing. Thanks again for providing such a wonderful tool."
