Artifact One: How to Do Progress Reporting Slides

This activity aligns with NELP Standard 7.3 by supporting the professional learning and development of school staff. By creating a training presentation for new case managers and service providers, I helped build staff knowledge of progress reporting procedures, legal requirements, and compliance responsibilities. This resource promotes consistent documentation practices, strengthens staff capacity, and supports accurate communication of student progress.
