I began my career with hand-written carbon forms, moved to NC where we used CECAS, our district moved to Easy IEP, and most recently, our state switched all districts to EdPlan. Though it has different features than Easy IEP, EdPlan is easy to use and intuitive. My favorite parts:
-The progress monitoring tool- It allows me to graph student data as I collect it and leaves it all in one place so I can easily complete quarterly IEP progress reports.
- Compliance Alerts- Not only does it give reminders up to 90 days before a document is due, it provides users with alerts within individual documents to reduce errors in compliance.
- Drafts- Documents can be drafted before meetings and saved in order to create final documents in live meetings with the parent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One improvement I would make in the program is in the accommodations section of the IEP. All available classes and tests automatically populate to the IEP as "not participating". They all show this way on the IEP, which makes for an extremely long document and waste of paper. In order to remove them, they each have to be deselected individually. This process takes a large proportion of my time. As a special education teacher, my time is extremely valuable.
