Edit Phase - Editing Narrative Information

Narrative Information is the data that has been collected from observations, assessments and/or performance of the selected student.  They are essential to the tracking and understanding of the student's progress in the areas of goals, objectives, behavior and ability.

Editing narratives is accomplished easily by accessing the Narratives Page.  If you would like to edit narrative information for the selected student, follow the steps below.

ACCESSING THE STUDENTS AREA

To add information for a selected student or students, you must access the Students area.  This area will appear after you click once on the Students Button on the Main Menu Bar.  The Main Menu Bar will be at the top of the Main Page after you log-in. The words "Main Menu" will be darkened to distinguish it.

NOTE: If you have been working in another area of EasyIEP TM(i.e. Schools, School System, Users), and the Main Menu Bar is not at the top of the browser page, click once on the Main Menu Button of the existing menu bar at the top of the browser page.  This will take you to the Main Page.  The Main Menu Bar will be at the top.  Click once on the Students Button to access the Students area.
