What is AIMSweb? • Direct, frequent, and brief student assessment system for progress monitoring • Measures student response to intervention • Targets basic academic skills needed for all students to successfully interact with the standards-based curriculum • Standardized administration, scoring, and interpretation • Provides norm-referenced results to guide instructional decision making • Has high levels of predictive validity and reliability for student achievement • The online data management also provides graphical representations of student data collection and progress Adapted from Presentations by M. Kjer and A. Wilson Scales, 2011
Aligning Assessment and Instruction This is what we’ve had… Assessment Instruction This is what we want… Instruction Assessment Adapted from Presentations by M. Kjer and A. Wilson Scales, 2011

How Can AIMSweb Impact Achievement? • The Greatest Likelihood of Meeting Standards on the CRCT Occurs when the AIMSweb Benchmark Scores are At or Above the Threshold Score • This is true for both the Reading and the Math CRCT • Reading Comprehension has Greatest Impact on CRCT • Teachers can use AIMSweb Data to Set Targets and Quantify Progress toward the Thresholds Identified for Meeting Standards on the CRCT • Weekly Progress Monitoring on the Student’s Instructional Level Combined with Focused Interventions are Predictive of Benchmark Increases Over Time Adapted from Presentations by M. Kjer and A. Wilson Scales, 2011
