What is Progress Monitoring? • …repeated measurement of academic performance to inform instruction of individual students in general and special education... It is conducted at least monthly to (a) estimate rates of improvement, (b) identify students who are not demonstrating adequate progress and/or (c) compare the efficacy of different forms of instruction to design more effective, individualized instruction. -National Center on Response to Intervention
Progress monitoring answers the question…. Is what we’re doing working?
Why We Monitor Progress For your typical student that’s a gain of… +32%ile points +29 %ile points +26 %ile points
Why We Monitor Progress • It’s the law: (d) Progress monitoring data, including: • (B) Data-based documentation of repeated assessments of achievement at reasonable intervals, reflecting formal assessment of student progress that is directly linked to instruction.
Purposes Progress monitoring serves 2 purposes: • Evaluate the effectiveness of ongoing interventions for cohort groups of students (evaluation of intervention) • Evaluate the effectiveness of ongoing interventions for individual students (evaluation of student’s response to intervention)
Progress Monitoring Tools Sensitive to growth Brief & Easy Equivalent forms!!! Frequent
Progress Monitoring Tools Curriculum-Based Measures (CBM) General Outcome Measures (GOMs)
What are Progress Monitoring Tools? Progress Monitoring Tools NOT Progress Monitoring Tools Quick Phonics Screener QRI-IV DRA2 Running Records Report cards OAKS Reading Curriculum Fluency passages or weekly tests • DIBELS • ORF, NWF, PSF, FSF, Daze • AIMSWEB • ORF, Maze, MC, etc • easyCBM • PSF, WRF, PRF, MCRC, Vocab, Math
CBA vs. CBM Curriculum Based Assessment (CBA) Curriculum Based Measurement (CBM)
Using the Right Tool The progress monitoring tool should match the skills being taught.
If we use the wrong tool, we won’t be able to answer the question…. Is what we’re doing working?

Goal Setting: Things to Consider • What is the goal? • Criterion-based • Research-based benchmarks/proficiency • Norm-based • Minimum of 25th percentile (bottom limit of average) • School, District, State, National How do you define success?
Goal Setting: Things to Consider • By when will they get there? • Long term goals always at proficiency (i.e., grade placement benchmark) • Short term goals may be an incremental step towards proficiency (i.e., instructional level material) Does your goal close the gap?
Goal Setting: Things to Consider • What does reasonable growth look like? • National Growth rates (Fuchs, AIMSWEB, Hasbrouck & Tindal) • District Growth rates • Cohort growth rates What progress can we expect?

How often do you progress monitor students? Determined by district decision rules and level of need • Best practice recommendations: • Intensive: 1x per week • Strategic: 1x or 2x per month
Logistics:Questions to Consider • Who collects the data? • How will they be trained/re-trained? • Who enters/graphs the data? • Where is the data kept?
How do we know if a student is making adequate progress? Decision Rules Correct words per Minute
We do not use progress monitoring data to… …select specific short-term instructional goals …take a lot of time away from instruction …diagnose educational problems …assign grades to students …evaluate teachers
