name	progress-monitor-plan
description	Create ONE progress-monitoring schedule and probe plan for an IEP goal or MTSS intervention. Use this atom when special-education-support or intervention-mtss needs a measurement plan. Do NOT use for generating the goals themselves (use atom-iep-goal).

progress-monitor-plan

Designs a progress-monitoring schedule with probe type, frequency, decision rules, and data collection method for a single IEP goal or intervention target.

Read first — boundaries (security/SECURITY_AND_SAFETY.md §2). A monitoring plan is a draft for the IEP or MTSS team, not a decision. It must be validated against the student's actual IEP/504 plan and local and state policy before anyone collects data against it. This atom does not set, alter, or approve goals, does not make eligibility or placement determinations, and does not decide whether an intervention continues — those belong to the team (protocol-layer/assumptions-protocol.md). Never request, infer, or include real student data — placeholders only.

Input

{
  "goal": "By [Date], [Student Name] will read 80 words correct per minute on grade-level passages.",
  "current_level": "45 WCPM",
  "target_level": "80 WCPM",
  "timeline_weeks": 36
}

Output

{
  "tool": "progress-monitor-plan",
  "plan": {
    "probe_type": "Oral Reading Fluency (ORF) — 1-minute timed passage",
    "frequency": "Biweekly",
    "aimline": "~1 WCPM gain per week",
    "decision_rule": "If 3 consecutive data points fall below the aimline, team meets to adjust intervention",
    "data_collection": "Chart WCPM on a line graph; compare to aimline",
    "review_dates": ["Week 9", "Week 18", "Week 27", "Week 36"]
  },
  "human_review_required": true
}

Do NOT use this atom for

• Generating IEP goals (use atom-iep-goal)
• Administering assessments or recording data
• Making placement decisions

Pipeline note

Follows references/method.md at the Generation step (monitoring plan). Output conforms to protocol-layer/metadata-schema.md. human_review_required: true — monitoring plans must be approved by the IEP/MTSS team.
