Heather is joined by Ann to explore what it really means to use multiple sources of information to understand a student’s strengths and needs. Drawing from years of experience, Ann shares how combining data, context, and human insight creates a clearer and more accurate picture than any single measure could.

They discuss how to balance hard metrics with lived experiences, interpret results in light of timing and relationships, and adapt plans as circumstances shift. From embracing failure as a learning tool to connecting academic skills with real-life applications, the conversation offers practical, flexible strategies for supporting student growth. If you’ve ever wondered how to move beyond checklists toward truly individualized support, this episode will show you how.
