As a Social Worker, you’re supporting students in building social-emotional skills, accessing resources, and developing strategies to navigate challenges. That means tracking progress on goals like self-regulation, peer interactions, and participation in structured settings. Kit helps you capture these moments in real time—without adding extra paperwork to your day.
Let’s dive into some real-life examples of how you can use Kit’s data collection features with a variety of student goals (plus a few quick pro tips to make your life easier).
💬 Scenario 1: Initiating Peer Interaction
Example Goal:
Ava will independently initiate a greeting or question with a peer in 3 out of 5 opportunities.
During the session, you use the Frequency Counter in Kit to log each independent greeting. In the Subjective Notes, you add: “initiated greeting with minimal hesitation today.”
👉 Pro tip: You can use the Record feature to capture a short audio clip of Ava’s greeting so the team (and family) can hear her progress.
🧘♀️ Scenario 2: Self-Regulation Skills
Example Goal:
Maya will use a calming strategy (deep breathing, counting, or using a break card) in 4 out of 5 opportunities when feeling upset.
During the session, you create a Custom Calculator in Kit to track which calming strategies Maya uses most often (e.g., deep breathing, counting, or break card). In the Subjective Notes, you might write: “responded well to deep breathing with a verbal prompt.”
👉 Pro tip: Upload a work sample or video recording of Maya practicing her calming strategies to Google Drive and link it in the wrap up Session Notes section. This gives you a reference point to review progress in future sessions or share with team members as needed.
👥 Scenario 3: Group Participation
Example Goal:
Jalen will participate appropriately in a small group activity for at least 10 minutes with no more than one redirection in 4 consecutive sessions.
You use Kit’s Timer to record how long Jalen stayed engaged in the activity. Each time you redirect, you tap ➕ in the Supporting Data Calculators to capture the intervention used (like visual cue or verbal cue). In your wrap-up Session Notes, you jot: “stayed engaged for 12 minutes with one visual prompt—try larger group setting next session.”
✨ With Kit, Social Workers can track measurable progress while also capturing the meaningful context behind each student’s growth—making it easier to share progress with teams and families.
