Assessment, Screening and Progress Monitoring made Easy! a tool for every tier
Progress made easy for RTI Curriculum-Based Measurement Universal Screening/Benchmarking Progress Monitoring Grades K–8 Reading and Mathematics Approved Progress Monitoring Tool by National Center on RTI
Response to Intervention Tier 1 - easyCBM Universal screening or benchmarking – fall, winter, and spring Class/Building/System Snapshot Identify “at-risk” for Tier 2 Focus on core curriculum Differentiated Instruction
Response to Intervention Tier 2 - easyCBM Progress monitoring Rate of growth data Non-responders considered for Tier 3 Targeted Groups and intervention
Response to Intervention Tier 3 - easyCBM Progress monitoring essential Evaluate the impact of interventions Enhance the rate of student learning Intensive individualized intervention Diagnostic – processing assessment Referral for Special Ed
History University of Oregon, College of Education Behavioral Research & Teaching (BRT) Development started in January 2006, with a federal grant for a Model Demonstration Project on Progress Monitoring in Early Literacy in a Response to Intervention Framework
Why…. If not directly comparable, there is no meaningful interpretation available. Alternate forms are directly comparable Developed using Item Response Theory (IRT) Teacher Developed!
Why…. • Universal design – access for as many students as possible • Adjustable font size • Audio for math • Hover features • Limited language requirements in math • Built to motivate students through the assessments
Assessments: Alignment Mathematics – currently based on the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Curriculum Focal Point Standards in Mathematics Alignment to Common Core Standards in development Reading – based on the 'Big Five' constructs of reading reported in the 2000 National Reading Panel report
Assessments: Reading • Early Literacy • Phoneme Segmenting, Letter Names, Letter Sounds • Fluency • Word Reading Fluency, Passage Reading Fluency • Comprehension • Vocabulary
Mathematics • Based on NCTM Focal Point Standards • 3 per grade • Benchmark assesses all three • Progress monitoring assess all three or focus on individual domain • Numbers and Operations, Geometry, Measurement, Algebra, Ratios, Data Analysis
Computer Administered Item-level data Minimal data entry Minimize human error Real-time access Instant feedback for students
Basics Multiple Levels of Access • Administrator • District • Building • Teacher
District Level • Benchmark reports • Entire District • Building • Classroom • Group reports • Individual Student reports
Set District Parameters Customize your “Risk Rating” based upon student population and available resources
Building Level: Manage Teacher Setup/Reports • Benchmark Reports • By grade • Risk Level • Risk Analysis • By School or Teacher • Numbers or Percentage
Classroom Level • Group Students • Any grouping – intervention, period, Tier II, etc • Teacher types in name • Temporarily add a new student • Assign measures to students
Reports Group ReportsProvide information helpful for grouping students and insight into the item types on which they need more work
Group Report Item Analysis It informs teachers of the specific assessment objective for each item on the test and lists the items students found easiest to those students found most challenging. * Teachers can use this information to help guide their decision-making in terms of what areas to focus on instructionally.
Group Report Student List At bottom of group report allows teacher to see individual student graph or the actual student assessment.
Group Report Multi-Student Progress Monitoring This graph will show up for groups with 10 students or fewer, once you've selected a measure. Provides a quick snapshot of how instructional groups are performing as a whole.
Reporting Functions • Identification of students at risk • Organization of students into manageable skill groups • Progress monitoring of groups of students • Diagnostic displays of errors • Target aim lines for improvement • Movement of students across instructional tiers.
Individual Report Individual Reports Optimize resources by continuing with proven interventions.
easyCBM Provides • Benchmark assessments • Full access to progress monitoring assessments • Reading & Math – Grades K-8 • System-level use • Team access • Computer Administration • Multi Level Reporting • Class/Bldg./Syst. group performance
