Using Kit as a Special Education Teacher to Collect Data

Updated yesterday

As a Special Education teacher, you’re tracking academics, behavior, and supports across multiple subjects and settings. Kit helps you keep it all organized so you can spend less time tallying and more time teaching.

Let’s jump into some real-life examples of how you can use Kit’s data collection feature with a variety of student goals (and a few fun pro tips along the way).

📖 Scenario 1: Reading Comprehension

Example Goal:

Diego will answer grade-level comprehension questions (who, what, where, why) with 80% accuracy across 3 consecutive sessions.

While Diego reads, you can use the thumbs up/down buttons in Kit to log correct vs. incorrect answers in real time. In the Subjective Notes section, you add details like: “needed sentence starters for why-questions.” If Diego answers questions verbally instead of on paper, you can also use the Record feature in Kit to capture his responses for progress tracking.


⏱️ Scenario 2: On-Task Behavior

Example Goal:

Priya will remain on-task during independent work for 10 consecutive minutes in 4 out of 5 opportunities.

Priya is practicing independent work. Using Kit’s Timer, you track how long she stays engaged before needing redirection. You also use the Supporting Data Calculators to log how many prompts she needed before getting back on task. At the end of the session, you leave yourself a reminder in the Wrap-Up Session Notes section to “try new seating arrangement next session.”

➕ Scenario 3: Math Problem-Solving

Example Goal:

Ethan will correctly solve grade-level word problems using appropriate strategies in 80% of opportunities.

While Ethan works on math, you use the thumbs up/down buttons in Kit to log correct and incorrect answers. You also create Custom Support Calculators for tools like Number Lines or Manipulatives, then tap ➕/➖ to see which supports help him most.

👉 Bonus: Upload a photo of Ethan’s work to Google Drive and link it in wrap-up Session Notes section—perfect for IEP meetings or progress reports.

✨ With Kit, Special Education teachers can combine instant data with rich context, making it easier than ever to track academic and behavioral growth.
