In schools, most assessments used fall into the category of "mastery measures", but screening is a "general outcome measure". Progress monitoring includes "general outcomes measures", as well. Because these measures may not look exactly like what we teach, many educators will question their value. Understanding the differences between the two types of measures is integral to using the data effectively and for the right purpose in a prevention system.
