Smart Inclusion Tracking and Evaluation (Pre-Questionnaire) Your evaluation of various “inclusion targets” is required so that we can assess the impact of Smart Inclusion on student engagement, participation, communication and learning. You will be asked to complete ONE form for the ONE student for whom the SEA equipment was purchased. If you have other special needs students you would like to report on, please do so by additional completing forms for them as well. You should have consents for all students for whom a form is completed. Information from all evaluations will be collated for reporting purposes. Students, schools, and teachers will not be identified by name in any reporting. We are asking any staff able to report on students LAST YEAR to have input into this questionnaire. We need information from those who would have the best knowledge of the student LAST YEAR. Thank you. Complete the student information box below Please attach the final IEP from the previous school year (2007-2008) and the final report card from last year (2007-2008).

Disruptive incidents are defined as those that require removal of student from classroom and/or removal of other students from the class and/or significant interruptions to learning of others. ______Disruptive incidents were an issue last year.

A significant number of disruptive incidents throughout the year (weekly). 4. Behaviour was extremely difficult to manage (serious incidents almost daily). Comments Information about the student’s level of participation in the classroom last year, with peers and with programming, is needed. Levels of participation may include: “Competitive”: Student participates in the same educational activities with, and at the same time as, peers. Adaptations/accommodations to access curriculum may be used as needed. Academic expectations are the same as those of peers. Progress is evaluated similarly to peers. “Active”: Student participates in the same educational activities with, and at the same time as, peers (i.e., literacy activities during literacy block). Some adaptations to access curriculum are used as needed, and some modifications are made to the curriculum - academic expectations are different from those of peers. Progress is evaluated according to individualized standards. “Involved”: Student pursues individualized goals through activities that are woven into educational activities of peers, and involves interaction with peers during those activities (i.e., student hands out math manipulatives to peers to meet social, communication, and fine motor goals) = modified goals and objectives to meet individual needs in cross-curricular domains. Progress is evaluated according to individualized standards. “None”: Student participates in different educational activities than those that the rest of the class is involved in. Peer interaction is limited to very little or none. Academic expectations may range from the same as those of peers (though the student is not involved with peers or pursuing the expectation at the same time as peers), to highly individualized and very different from those of peers.
