Key Takeaways:
- IEP Progress Monitoring Matters: Data drives decisions—progress updates should show if supports are working.
- Know Your Rights: Under IDEA, schools must report IEP progress as often as report cards. Check your child’s IEP for how and when progress is measured.
- Demand Real Data: Generic phrases like “making progress” aren’t enough. Ask for raw data or work samples.
- Stalled Progress? Adjust the Goal: If progress is stagnant, request a meeting and ask if the goal is too big. Break it into smaller, scaffolded steps.
- Track at Home: Your observations matter—compare home progress with school reports.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
