Goal measurement: It supports 15 ways to measure a goal and shows baseline, target, data points, and trend on a goal card.
Scheduling: Its schedule brings sessions, meetings, deadlines, and class availability into one view, and recalculates make-up time and service-minute totals when sessions move.
Privacy: Student records are stored and processed locally, and the maker says it does not collect, access, transmit, store, or process student data through the software.
