  1. easyCBM: Benchmarking and Progress Monitoring System

  2. Assessments to Facilitate Instruction What does it take for a seamless integration of a benchmarking and progress monitoring system? • Assess the right things • Scale the measures for sensitivity and reliability • Make it easy for schools to use • Get teacher buy in • Align with important criterion measures

  3. Assess the Right Things:Reading Measures Early Literacy • Phonemic Segmentation • LN, LS • WRF, PRF Gr. 2 Gr. 3-8 Literal 6 items 7 items • Comprehension Inferential 6 items 7 items Evaluative 6 items

  4. Assess the Right Things:Math Measures NCTM Focal Point Standards 3 Focal Points per grade; each PM measure has 16 items aligned to a single Focal Point. Each Benchmark measure has 48 items (16 from each Focal Point).

  5. School Use Benchmark data need to guide decision-making. In many districts using an RTI framework, all students get Tier 1 and 2; those scoring below a particular percentile on the benchmark and/or non-responders get Tier 3 instruction. Instructional Decisions: who, what, when, how, where, how often, with whom?

  6. Teacher Buy-In • Teachers need to input intervention info & modify instruction based on findings. • Selection of appropriate measure for the individual student • Current skill level • Specific deficits • Sensitivity to growth • Aligned to intervention
