Progress Monitoring
the process of collecting and analyzing data over time to measure student performance and evaluate the effectiveness of
instruction
Progress monitoring practices
Implementing effective progress monitoring practices enables educators to utilize data to improve instructional practices
and meet individual needs of students.
Schoolwide screening measures
are intended to be easy to implement and score yet still provide a general picture of academic achievement in a particular
area, such as reading. Can be administered 3 times a year.
T/F Progress monitoring is conducted in all tiers of instruction?
True, This is one of the eight features of effective progress monitoring.
Screening Measures
can help to identify which students need additional support in order to be successful in school
T/F To facilitate data collection, measures must be easy to administer and effective?
True, This is one of the eight features of effective progress monitoring.
T/F Cut scores and decision rules must have clear rationale?
True, This is one of the eight features of effective progress monitoring.
,T/F Progress monitoring data must be collected daily on every student?
False, while it is important to collect progress monitoring data often, daily is not always required. measures must be
collected frequently enough to inform instructional and placement decisions.
T/F Rules for decision-making must be determined for all aspects of progress-monitoring data, including cut scores for
level (performance score), slope (change in performance over time), and percentage of mastery?
True, This is one of the eight features of effective progress monitoring.
T/F Progress monitoring data are often hard to interpret, so teachers must be extensively trained on how to display and
interpret progress monitoring data?
False, Results should be displayed in a manner that makes interpretation simple and efficient, for example, in charts or line
graphs.
Tier 1 Instruction
Encompasses whole-school quality differentiated instruction and support for all students.
Tier 2 Instruction
small groups are typically used in tier 2 of RTI, as they allow for targeted interventions for struggling students.
Tier 3 Instruction
one on one. Require individualized goals. Their progress toward goals requires more frequent measuring to determine the
effectiveness of the intervention
Data-based Individualization (DBI)
, A means of using evidence-based methods to individualize interventions for students who do not demonstrate adequate
progress
Sara was identified with a low level of performance in mathematics and has been receiving tier 1 supports. Her weekly
progress monitoring showed that she continued to have a reduced rate of progress.
What happens next with Sara, based on this result?
Student should be considered for tier 2 supports.
T/F Curriculum-based measurements are an appropriate means to conduct progress monitoring.
True, Curriculum-based measurements allow teachers to track skills from an entire year's curriculum and monitor progress.
Progress Monitoring
1. Easy to implement
2. Indicate how students are performing
3.Designed to be administered frequently
Diagnostic Assessment
1. Determine why students are struggling to make progress
2. Determine the type of change that needs to be made
3. Make intervention adaptations that align with student needs
How do you establish baseline data when creating a graph for progress monitoring?
Administer three probes or trials, select the median (the middle number), and then mark the score by placing a dot on the
vertical axis (e.g., words correct per minute).
