Our entire district (small-2300 students) had the SETS
program installed on all sp.ed. teacher workstations last
winter. It continues to do nothing for us. One or two of the
elementary schools were partially up and running with SETS
late last spring; however, at our high school, no one has
entered the data for the special ed. students. I continue to
write IEP's using the IEP template downloaded from KDE. I
find the IEP template user-friendly. Following a 3-hour SETS
training session last May, I was absolutely confused by the
entire set-up. I'm comfortable with most computer programs
and find them fairly easy to master after playing around with
them independently for a few days. SETS seemed to be
unfriendly. I was issued a different PC workstation this
year; therefore, SETS is not even installed on my classroom
computer. STI has not been very reliable for us either. I'm
not sure if the problem is with the STI program or with our
DTC's inability to get it right. We can't even post
attendance on STI. Forget about posting grades on STI. We
must calculate our grades manually and then give them to the
school secretary who then enters them into the STI program.
