What if this didn't live in another spreadsheet?
Symplifyed turns the book's ideas into a small, shared data cycle for behavior, goals, and student support. Teachers can capture what happened quickly, teams can see what was tried, and the next decision doesn't have to start from memory.
Small enough
to use.
Useful before the meeting, not just documented for it.
