Different Types of Assessments
• Measure of Academic Progress (MAP)• Guided Reading (Leveled Reading)• Statewide Accountability Tests• Published Curriculum Tests• Teacher made tests• General Outcome Measures

General Outcome Measurement
• General Outcome Measures (a.k.a, Curriculum Based Measures)
A simple set of procedures for repeated measurement of student growth toward long-range instructional goals (Deno,
1985)
![Page 5: Using Data for Decisions Points to Ponder. Different Types of Assessments Measure of Academic Progress (MAP) Guided Reading (Leveled Reading) Statewide](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56649eda5503460f94be9452/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Examples of Dynamic Indicators in Other Areas
• Children’s Health– Thermometer– Height and weight charts
• Economy– Consumer Price Index– Dow Jones Industrial Average– Import-Export Balance

GOM characteristics
• Standardized• Brief, Efficient, Simple• Valid, Reliable INDICATORS
of reading, writing and math• Powerful – proven utility and
sensitivity for screening and progress monitoring

General Outcome Measures are DIBS
Dynamic Indicators of Basic Skills√ Dynamic -Sensitive to change over time
√ Indicators - Representatives of skills, but do not measure all aspects or applications of the skill domain
√ Basic Skills - Measures correspond to domains of reading, math, spelling, and written expression.

The St. Croix River Education District (SCRED) use GOM’s on two different schedules for different students:
____________________________________
1. Benchmark testing for all students three times per year (Fall, Winter, Spring)
2. Progress Monitoring for students of concern (Monthly, Bi-weekly, weekly)
General Outcome Measurement Testing Schedules

Benchmark Testing (Screening)
Benchmark Testing is used:– for all students in all schools– to monitor progress of all students– to establish school norms– to call attention to students having difficulty– to evaluate instructional programs
![Page 10: Using Data for Decisions Points to Ponder. Different Types of Assessments Measure of Academic Progress (MAP) Guided Reading (Leveled Reading) Statewide](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56649eda5503460f94be9452/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Frequent Monitoring
We do NOT KNOW ahead of time whether an intervention will be successful for an individual student
Do they assume in the hospital that your heart is working just fine after your bypass surgery? After all… the surgery works well for MOST patients…..

• for students of concern, i.e., students who are below target
• to provide a basis for evaluation of instructional programming for individual students as the instruction is occurring
• to provide information to help teachers make decisions about goals, materials, levels, and groups
• to aid in communication with parents• to document progress for IEP students as is required for
periodic and annual reviews

Using Data to Inform Practice
• Students make more academic progress when teachers regularly collect formative data and use data to guide instruction.

Five building-level supporting structures promote Problem Solving and optimal student achievement:
• Continuous Measurement• Grade-level Team Meetings• Flexible Grouping• Grade-level Scheduling• Concentrated Resources

• Teams hold meetings at least monthly• Together teachers view graphs of all students of
concern• Teams make decisions about resources• Teams make decisions about interventions• Teachers use Problem Solving process

Problem Solving Teams are Different than Common SIT/SAT/TAT/SST teams
• Membership is reflective of all school staff– General and special education represented
• Problems are specifically defined in observable measurable terms using technically adequate measurement systems
• Efforts made to assess why the problem is occurring– Only reasons that we have the power to do something about are given
time for consideration• Observable measurable goals are written for each problem to be
addressed, and progress monitoring data is collected and graphed for every goal
• Intervention plans are explicitly documented, and intervention integrity is assured through direct observation
• Student progress is evaluated based on data

Big Ideas: Problem Solving Teams
• Teams guided by a problem solving model• Assessment is based on what question is being asked
at each step of the model• Assessment is linked to intervention• Teams are well-balanced and not perceived as
“special education” hoop-jumping teams.
