This center's mission is to disseminate information about progress monitoring practices proven to work in different academic content areas and it has a wealth of great webinars and resources.
Funded by the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP), it is housed at the American Institutes for Research working in conjunction with researchers from Vanderbilt University.
This is just an example of the teacher reviewing briefly the standardized probe instructions. Since students take the 3 minute probes bi-weekly and they are now accustomed to the probes, this does not include the modeling and think-aloud of initial instruction.
Once the probe is administered, students will graph their raw score (number correct). They use a simple bar graph and periodically reflect on their progress.
Interestingly enough, a lesson learned in this work is that students really need to be taught how to collaborate, self-reflect (e.g. How do I remember that? Why do I always get those confused?), and how to explain their thinking to others. This is an area of focus for Year 2.
This manual, with elements taken from a variety of resources noted, was created to not only assist these four teachers in standardizing their process, but also to use in the future for training new teachers or expanding this work to additional departments.
This template outlines the data analysis steps shared in "The How".
