Monitoring Overview & Timeline

The AEDY Monitoring process is divided into three parts: pre-monitoring preparation, the week of monitoring, and Corrective Action. Every AEDY program is monitored as part of the AEDY differentiated monitoring cycle.

Pre-monitoring preparation begins at least one month prior to the week of monitoring. During the week of monitoring, the administrative interview will be held. Within 30 days of this meeting, corrective action will be issued and a corrective action meeting will be held. Corrective action is due 30 days from the corrective action meeting.

A table which further outlines the timeline and party responsible for each step of the process is available below. 

**Please note that the Bureau of Special Education conducts a monitoring of students simultaneous to the AEDY Team. Contact the BSE adviser(s) assigned to the monitoring for any questions about the BSE timeline.**
