The Data Collection tool is set up to provide a monthly pie chart that can simply be cut and pasted into a Word document,newsletter or webite and distributed to administration, parents and teachers or your community. Just work all day like you always have and at the end of the day open up the file and place the number of events of what you’ve done for the day in the cells by the days date. The Guidance Tool will add all your duties for you and even create a pie chart which will adjust as you input more data.
