📝 ALE Recording Monthly Progress (Connect)

Each month, the Certificated Teacher overseeing each Student's Learning Plan must determine the student's progress. Ultimately, a Yes/No determination with a date assigned must be made. However, the ALE Application offers several tools that can be optionally used to assist the Certificated Teacher in making this determination.

Monthly Progress Determination per Class or Course 

For groups of students participating in a Class or Course, the Certificated Teacher or Support Staff providing that instruction may, on a per-student, per-month basis, designate how well each student is progressing.

Monitor Monthly Progress

Here, you will learn to record and monitor monthly progress for the approved wSLPs you manage. Per  WAC 392-550-025(3), monthly progress must be completed each month a student is claimed for state funds. You can only record monthly progress via the certified teacher role.

1. Start by selecting Monitor in the left navigation menu, then choose Monitor Monthly Progress.
2. This table will include monthly columns for all students, indicating whether the monthly progress review has been completed.
3. Use the text box and filter icons at the top of each column to sort and filter as desired. 

4. In the Monthly Progress columns, an icon will appear.

	Indicates that monthly progress has yet to be recorded.
	Indicates Satisfactory Progress.
	Indicates Unsatisfactory Progress

5. Click the monthly progress column icons to view a student's progress for each month.

   You will see the Update Monthly Progress page open to the Overview tab by default. In the Essentials section, Certificated Teachers determine whether a student has made satisfactory progress and record notes supporting their decision. The Reporting Month field will automatically fill. Select Yes or No from the Overall Progress is Satisfactory dropdown menu. Fill in the Overall Monthly Progress field. In the next section, the Certificated Teacher can indicate whether they have reviewed progress with the student (and parents for K-8 students), as required by law. This section will also indicate whether a parent and/or student has acknowledged receipt of the monthly progress and, if so, the date they did so. Once monthly progress has been determined, parents can no longer edit the “parent input” box, which becomes read-only. Select Yes or No from the Monthly Progress Review with Student (and parent for K-8th students) dropdown menu. In the next sections, the Certificated Teacher can view but not edit Parent and Student comments that have been entered. Teachers can also enter course-specific Monthly Progress comments and record monthly progress for a course (Select Yes or No from the Progress is Satisfactory field).  Programs choose which fields surface in monthly progress, so you may or may not see all possible fields. Scroll down to Completed Courses History. Here, you can view the history of completed courses. Alternatively, click the SLP Course tab at the top of the page and select the course of choice. Here, you can view the courses, course progress, course details, and data tables.

6. Click the magnifying glass next to the student's name to view their Manage Student Learning Plan page in the Monthly Progress tab.
   1. Click the magnifying glass in the Reporting Month column to view the Update Monthly Progress page.
   2. Click the Row Action Gear to the far right to:
      • Print Monthly Progress
      • Print Monthly Progress with Course Details
      • Record Monthly Progress (Certificated Teacher Role only)
      • Print Intervention Plan (Program Manager Role only)

7. In the Registrar Role, click one or more checkboxes to the far left, click the Selected Gear in the top left, and choose:
   • Notify Parents of Monthly Progress Review
   • Notify Students of Monthly Progress Review
   • Notify Parent of Missing Progress Entry. 
8. You can surface additional columns by clicking on the Show Column Panel icon at the top right of the table. This will open a list of extra columns. 
   1. Click the checkbox for the months you want to view.  
   2. Click the Hide Column Panel icon to close the column panel.

Additional Notes:  

• The recording date for the monthly progress is captured only when the overall progress determination is made. No other edits or input in the monthly progress review form will change or capture the recording date.  
• Once monthly progress has been recorded, progress by course or class cannot be added/edited in the group interfaces, nor can parent input be modified or added.  
• The Monthly Progress interface can now be configured per district to hide/show which form elements are applicable, so your view may differ from the screenshots above based on those settings.
