How Educators can Support I-Connect at Home:

I-Connect is an awesome positive behavior support resource for the students and clients you work with. It’s been successful in the classroom, but with many districts choosing remote learning, I-Connect has the flexibility to be used virtually! Consider the following options to remotely support your students in using the I-Connect self monitoring intervention:

Option #1: Parent Driven:

Share a link to the I-Connect at Home web page and the below PDF with the parents, caregivers, students, or clients that you work with. This will instruct parents or caregivers on all they need to know to set up accounts for their students. Request that they add you to the student’s account as a Stakeholder so you can view their charts and see how they progress.

Options #2: Teacher or Specialist Driven:

You can register an account for yourself as either a non-school district mentor or mentor. You can then create a self-monitoring account for each of your students or clients, assigning their parents or caregivers as Stakeholders. You then only need to instruct parents or caregivers on how to download the I-Connect app, and send them their student’s login credentials that you created in the I-Connect Portal. You will then need to engage in weekly meetings with your student or client to touch base on the progress data and discuss if their monitoring prompts, intervals, or questions need to adjusted.
