PROGRESS MONITORING – A PRIMER One of the most powerful interventions schools can use is systematic and frequent formative evaluation such as progress monitoring. For some, benchmark data is sufficient to enable important and timely instructional decisions to be made. For others, benchmark assessment is not enough because students may be in ineffective programs too long. Progress monitoring enables goal-oriented, frequent data collection in order to inform instruction and measure student achievement. More severe achievement problems and/or More resource intensive programs require More frequent progress monitoring. Progress Monitoring Assessments are: Designed to serve as “indicators” of general achievement Standardized tests to be given, scored, and interpreted in a standard way Researched with respect to psychometric properties to ensure accurate measures of learning Sensitive to improvement in short periods of time Designed to be short as possible to ensure “do-ability” Linked to decision making for promoting positive achievement and problem solving Benefits of Progress Monitoring: Parents and students know what is expected Teachers know what is working or not working with their instruction based on data Easy to understand way to show parents progress School teams have comprehensive data on student performance for decision making Graphing: Graphing is an essential part of PM Without graphic displays, the decision making process is difficult Components of Graphing: Establish baseline Set up graph Set goal Draw aimline Measure student progress Plot student performance Connect indicators of student performance Analyze student performance Make instructional changes Continue to measure and monitor student performance Data-Based Decisions: Performance Level – Gap in performance that is discrepant from peers “Data based decisions on performance level enables the team to make decisions about levels of support and resource from the start.” Example #1
