One Perspective on History

Unintended Effects
Conflicting programs
Conflicting funding streams
Redundancy
Lack of coordination across programs
Nonsensical rules about program availability for students
Extreme complexity in administration and implementation of the programs

Responsiveness to Intervention
Definition: A problem solving model to monitor the progress of all students on academic targets
Uses: Identify struggling students and intervene with research based methods
Legal mandate: By the year 2010 all school districts in the State of Illinois will employ a Responsiveness to Intervention model to determine the severity of academic deficiency and the need for specially designed instruction.
Not a SPECIAL EDUCATION INTIATIVE. Although it will be used to assist in the identification of students with disabilities, the main use of RtI is to identify struggling students and intervene with research based methods

Three-tiered system
Tier One: Universal Screening- Administer CBMs three times a year: Fall, Winter, Spring
Tier Two: Research- Based Intervention, generally in the general education classroom and Progress Monitoring using CBMs.
Tier Three: Intensive, Individual instruction with progress monitoring using CBMs

Why RtI?
Requires schools to monitor progress and identify students who are at risk
Guarantees intervention to all students who are struggling
Provides schools the tools for data driven educational decision making and goal setting for all students

New Model Prediction and Prevention
Old Model - Wait to Fail
intervention instruction was tied to special education qualifications
Services tied to achieving an IQ-Achievement discrepancy
Many children failed to qualify until 3rd grade or later
New Model – Preventive and an RTI approach
Help is not tied to special education
Receive intervention instruction as soon as they red flag
Diagnostic testing only after the student’s lack of progress in intervention
Enables help to be given immediately - early

Curriculum Based Measurements are….
Formative assessments that monitor progress of math, reading and writing skills
A repeated assessment that measures a specific skill the same way over a period of time
Valid, reliable and normed on large populations of students
9
Things to remember about CBMs
Serve as signs of general achievement
Measure skills not knowledge
Are standardized tests
Are reliable, valid and normed on thousands of students across the country
Quick and easy to administer and score
Provide information for decision making
10
Progress Monitoring
We want to answer two questions?
Is the child showing progress?
How does the child compare to his peers?
11
Tools for Monitoring Progress
Chart where the child starts (baseline)
Chart where we want the child to be at the end of the intervention period (aimline)
Chart scores on the CBM
12
BASELINE
Beginning point for monitoring progress
Administer three prompts
Two methods:
Let’s say that a student scores a 5, 8, 7 on the prompts
Average the three scores
Baseline = 5 + 8 + 7 = 20 20 ÷ 3 = 6.7 ( 7 rounded)
Take the score in the middle
Of the three scores 7 is the one in the middle
13
Aimline
This is where we predict how much progress we want the student to make during the intervention period.
Compute:
Use the scoring tables to determine where we want the student by the end of the intervention period, OR
Multiply the Weeks of intervention × the amount of progress each week:
ex: 8 weeks X 2 point increase each week
Add to Baseline 7 + 16 = 23
Plot the end score and draw the line
Example: easycbm
3rd Grade Norms
Reading Comprehension
In fall, student’s
Baseline was a score
of 6 placing them at
The 18th percentile.
What does that mean?
If we want all 3rd graders to score at or above the 30th percentile, what score should we aim for by winter testing? (Week 8)
Fall Testing baseline score = 6
18th percentile
Spring test target 8
30th percentile

Progress Monitoring
Once the aim line has been plotted, the student’s score is marked after each assessment.
The next slide illustrates the scores of a student after several measurements have been charted.
Question #1
Is the student making progress?
Question #2
How does the student compare to his same age peers?
Sample Classroom Data Chart
A word about this process
It is not about the testing
It is about the interventions you are doing to help kids improve
The testing is tool to help you validate that what you are doing is working
Important to continually review the interventions that you are using and change direction if kids are not making progress
CBM areas
These measure skill, not knowledge
General areas for measurement:
Reading
Reading recognition (letter and word)
Reading fluency (word and passage)
Comprehension
Math
Numbers and Operations
Geometry and Measurement
Algebra

Reading Maze Practice Test
Recommended for first time testing especially with younger children as they may not understand the task.
Use administration manual for script and directions
You model the first sentence
You do the second sentence together
You have students do the third sentence independently and you check for accuracy
The dog (apple, broke, ran) after the cat. The cat ran (fast, green, for) up the hill. The dog barked (in, at, is) the cat.

Mathematics Scoring
Scoring Key:
Student prompt:
29
Math scoring
Correct Digits - Each correct digit that a student writes is marked with an underline and counted
Incomplete Problems - Sometimes students don’t finish a problem. Score for the number of correct digits that are
written
X-ed Out Problems - Sometimes students start a problem and then cross it out. Sometimes students go back and write answers for problems they have crossed out. Ignore the X and score what you see.
30
Math Scoring
Legibility and Reversed or Rotated Numbers - Sometimes trying to figure out what number the student wrote can be challenging, especially with younger students or older students with mathematics achievement problems. To make scoring efficient and reliable, we recommend attention to three rules.
1. If it is difficult to determine what the number is at all, count it wrong.
2. If the reversed number is obvious, but correct, count it as a correct digit.
3. If the numbers 6 or 9 are potentially rotated and the digit is currently incorrect, count it as an incorrect digit.

Scoring
Count total words read within the time
Subtract the number of errors
Words Read Correctly score
The numbers on the
side are a running
total of the number of words in the passage.
Subtract the errors.
This gives your Words Read Correctly Score.
Error Analysis
Error Analysis is looking at the types of mistakes the student is making in order to determine what needs to be taught and retaught!
What kinds of errors are these?
