Progress Monitoring
Process of collecting and analyzing data over time to measure students performance and
evaluate effectiveness of instruction
steps in progress monitoring
1.) Select a measuring tool
2.) determine expected rate of progress
3.) plan for data collection and review
4.) Collect and share data
5.) Analyze results and make instruction decision
6.) continue progress monitoring and analyzing
Tier 1
Instruction given to entire class
Tier 2
Instruction given to a small group of students
Tier 3
Instruction given to individual students and students in special education
Data-Based Individualization (DBI)
research- based process for individualizing and intensifying interventions through the systematic
use of assessment data through the systematic use of assessment data, validated intervention
and research- based adaptation strategies
Data-based Individualization (DBI) steps
1.) Validated intervention program (tier 2)
2.)progress monitoring
3.) Diagnostic Data
4.) Intervention adaptation
5.) progress monitoring
, In a general education classroom that has two co-teachers, a student with a mild learning
disability struggles with completing timed keyboarding exercises successfully.
One teaches, one observes
Which co-teaching model supports small teacher-to-student ratio throughout a lesson?
Station teaching
Whaat is appropriate to provide instructional support to students with mild learning disabilities
in a co-teaching classroom using parallel teaching
To support readers with different levels of fluency and comprehension
Which co-teaching method could general and special education teachers employ with the whole
class to introduce and model how metacognition works while reading?
Team teaching: One models reading behavior aloud, while the other provides instruction of
concepts on board.
Which co-teaching option is appropriate to use if only one teacher is familiar with a specific
technique to solve a math equation?
One teaches, one assists
A teacher is working with a new paraeducator who has minimal experience in a classroom
setting. Which factors must the teacher consider when planning?
The amount of information and training the paraeducator needs
Which factor does a teacher need to consider when determining the level of direct supervision
of paraeducator?
Whether the paraeducator is accurately trained and knowledgeable
A paraeducator is drafting written directions for a specific activity for a student with a disability.
Which information would help the paraeducator to be most effective?
The order of the tasks, how and when to prompt, and allowable changes
Which classroom task would it be appropriate for a teacher to request of a paraeducator who
has years of experience, a college degree, and range of education-related skills
Provide 1:1 instruction, implement behavior plan, deliver curricular modifications
Which procedure will provide enough data to initiate any instructional changes, if needed, when
calculating a student's progress?
