What Curriculum-Based Assessment
determine student instructional needs through ongoing performance
Curriculum-Based Measurement monitor the effectiveness of instruction or
intervention very sensitive to small changes in student
performance quick and easy to administer
3
DIBELS What:
short, measures of skills fundamental to early reading success
measure what children know and can do compared to specific skills necessary for good readers
narrow indicators of broader skills – always the broader skill is the focus of instruction
4
Progress Monitoring
Collecting and analyzing data to determine student progress toward outcomes
Making instructional decisions based on the review and analysis of student data
5
6
Progress Monitoring Establish baseline, set up graph, set goal,
draw aimline
Measure and plot student performance – trend line
Analyze student performance – check data points below the aimline
Make Instructional changes if indicated
Continue to measure and monitor student performance
7
Making Instructional Decisions
Data interpretation requires the examination of performance across time
No single data point can be used to interpret outcomes – one piece of data does not make a trend
8
Considerations Is the teacher implementing the
instructional strategies?
Is the student actively engaged in instruction?
Is the aimline appropriate?
Student responding to the instruction and materials?
9
Making instructional decisions
Describe and summarize student performance
1. Level of performance
2. Slope of performance (trajectory)
3. Variability of performance
10
Decision Rules Using aimlines and decision rules takes
much of the guess work out of data analysis
If student performance: is well below the aimline for three data points - a
different strategy may be used is below the aimline for three data points but is
parallel to the aimline – may monitor closely is dramatically improving – stay the course
11
Intervention Plan
Different intervention Additional time or practice within the
same intervention Major course correction Minor course correction
12
Decision-making
Compare data before the intervention or modification in intervention Change in performance level Change in slope Change in variability
13
Decision RulesData Pattern Interpretation SuggestionProgress at or near zero – high error rate
Task is too difficult Teach prerequisite skills
Progress stalled at 20-50% correct
Student performs some parts of the task
Provide more direct/intensive instruction
Progress stalled close to goal
Student is ready for fluency building
Provide frequent opportunities for practice to increase accuracy and rate
Making progress, errors decreasing
Program is working Continue present instructional program
Meets or exceeds aimline
Instructional program is successful
Implement process to generalize and move on to new task
