easyCBM: Benchmarking and Progress Monitoring System
Assessments to Facilitate Instruction
What does it take for a seamless integration of a benchmarking and progress monitoring system?Assess the right thingsScale the measures for sensitivity and reliabilityMake it easy for schools to useGet teacher buy inAlign with important criterion measures
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
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).
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?
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
Benchmark & PM Data
Passage Reading Fluency
Passage Reading Fluency
MCRC: Benchmark Only
Aligned to Other Criterion Measures
Upcoming studies: criterion-validity studies examining relationship between benchmark measures and state tests in reading and math.
