What is the place of progress monitoring within an assessment
system?Functions of assessment
Examples Purpose How often? With whom?
SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT
EOG, EOC, Common Core Asst
How did we do? (aka “autopsy”)
1x/year All students
FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT

Up to 3x/year (Fall, Winter, Spring)
All students
3. Diagnostic assessment

What is getting in the way of some students making growth?
As needed General and Special Ed students not responding to intervention based on progress monitoring

How are students responding to interventions? Are they making growth?
1x/month
2x/month
1x/week
Students at-risk based on summative and benchmark screening assessments; Students receiving Special Ed
What is Progress Monitoring?
O Scientifically based practice that is used to assess students’ academic performance and evaluate the effectiveness of instruction.
O To implement PM, the student’s current level of performance are determined and goals are identified for learning that will take place over time. Collect data points!
In Summary…O Standardized type of formative
assessmentO Allows you to evaluate progress over
time to:O Determine student response to
instruction / interventionO Effectiveness of instructionO SLD eligibility
Why Progress Monitor?
O ScreeningO All patients- weight / blood pressure
