Progress Monitoring Student Growth

According to the National Center on Student Progress Monitoring, progress monitoring has the following benefits when it is implemented correctly:
1) students learn more quickly because they are receiving more appropriate instruction
2) teachers make more informed instructional decisions
3) documentation of student progress is available
4) communication improves between families and professionals about student progress
5) teachers have higher expectations for their students
6) there is a decrease in special education referrals

Overall, progress monitoring is relevant for classroom teachers, special educators, and school psychologists alike because the interpretation of this assessment data is vital when making decisions about the adequacy of student progress and formulating effective instructional programs (Fuchs, Compton, Fuchs et al., 2008).  There are multiple ways to progress monitor students including: formative assessments, summative assessments, benchmark assessments, skill checks, and curriculum based measures.  Choosing the right progress monitoring method will depend on multiple factors including: desired rate of growth; intensity and frequency of the intervention; previous instruction and intervention methods; and teachers' assessment information.

What is a CBM?

Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) is one method teachers can use to find out how students are progressing in basic academic areas such as math, reading, writing, and spelling.

CBM can be helpful to teachers and parents because it provides current, week-by-week information on the progress their children are making. When your child’s teacher uses CBM, he or she finds out how well your child is progressing in learning the content for the academic year. CBM also monitors the success of the instruction your child is receiving – if your child’s performance is not meeting expectations, the teacher then changes the way of teaching your child to try to find the type and amount of instruction your child needs to make sufficient progress toward meeting the academic goals.
