    Determining adequate yearly progress from kindergarten through grade 6 with Curriculum Based Measurement

    National Center on Student Progress Monitoring,

    Progress monitoring is a scientifically based practice that teachers can use to evaluate the effectiveness of their instruction for individual students or their entire class. Teachers identify goals for what their students will learn over time, measure their students' progress toward meeting these goals by comparing expected and actual rates of learning, and adjust their teaching as needed. The benefits of progress monitoring include accelerated learning for students who receive more...

    Indiana’s Vision of Response to Intervention

    1/1/09 - Yuri Kashima, Bridget Schleich, Terry Spradlin

    Response to Intervention (RTI) is a school-wide, integrative approach to instruction and intervention that provides a continuum of services to all students, both within general and special education (Martinez, Nellis, & Prendergast,2006). Further, RTI focuses on the frequent monitoring of student progress using formative* and summative*1 assessments, and providing students with differentiated and evidence-based classroom instruction. Thus, RTI can be viewed as a framework of service delivery...

    Monitoring student progress in individualized educational programs using curriculum-based assessment

    Stecker, P.

    Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) encompasses an assessment methodology that can be used to develop goals, benchmarks, or short-term objectives for individualized educational programs for students with disabilities. Teachers also use curriculum-based measurement as a means for monitoring student progress across the year. This paper describes CBM in reading and mathematics and provides sample goal statements for each area. In addition, the process by which teachers can examine data and make...

    The Core Components of RTI: A Closer Look at Evidence-based Core Curriculum, Assessment and Progress Monitoring, and Data-based Decision Making

    1/1/09 - Yuri Kashima, Bridget Schleich, Terry Spradlin

    According to a statewide RTI survey of Indiana educators administered by CEEP in January of 2009, 85.2% of respondents indicated that their school is either conceptualizing their RTI framework or in the initial stage of implementation. Thus, the current report examines in greater depth the first three core components of the RTI framework to support schools in their implementation and understanding of: evidence-based core curriculum, instruction, intervention and extension; assessment and...

    What is scientifically based research on progress monitoring?

    Fuchs, L.S., Fuchs, D.

    When teachers use systematic progress monitoring to track their students progress in reading, mathematics, or spelling, they are better able to identify students in need of additional or different forms of instruction, they design stronger instructional programs, and their students achieve better. This document first describes progress monitoring procedures for which experimental evidence demonstrates these effects. Then, an overview of the research is presented.
