    Teachers, especially those with students with disabilities, should use anecdotal records to inform instruction. Anecdotal records involve an unbiased observer recording a student's behaviors after they occur. This allows teachers to analyze progress, differentiate instruction to meet individual needs, and provide targeted feedback. When analyzing anecdotal records, teachers can identify needs and plan instruction accordingly rather than using generic lessons. Anecdotal records also allow teachers to measure IEP goal progress and provide data for IEP meetings and parent conferences. Proper use of anecdotal records enables teachers to cater to all student needs and strengths in the classroom.
