Curriculum Based Measurement Seeking success for all

One Perspective on History

Our education system has grown up through a process of “Disjointed Incrementalism” (Reynolds, 1988)

The current

System’s

Evolution

K-12 Education

Gifted

Title 1

SPED

2

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

3

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

8

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

PM Progress Monitor

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

TEACHER KEY

Alan was a very brave and adventurous boy. He enjoyed learning new things and (exploring) the land behind his house. One (morning) before he went exploring, he packed (his) backpack. He put many things inside. (He) packed a flashlight, a candle, matches, (a) compass, popcorn, a hard hat, and (his) lunch. Then he journeyed into the (woods) to his new secret spot.

 

STUDENT PROMPT:

Alan was a very brave and adventurous boy. He enjoyed learning new things and (adventure, backpack, exploring) the land behind his house. One (learned, morning, things) before he went exploring, he packed (him, his, it) backpack. He put many things inside. (One, He, It) packed a flashlight, a candle, matches, (a, an, or) compass, popcorn, a hard hat, and (went, his, he) lunch. Then he journeyed into the (hard, woods, candle) to his new secret spot

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.

28

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?
