Progress Monitoring

Academic Functional Analysis Quick way to figure out how the student learns best Aids you in choosing the best intervention Allows you to demonstrate to others the way the child learns best Decreases student experience of failure

Aids you in choosing the best intervention

Allows you to demonstrate to others the way the child learns best

Decreases student experience of failure

Progress Monitoring All students’ progress should monitored and instruction should be based on the data collected. Two types of monitoring for our discussion: RtI Interventions IEP Goals

All students’ progress should monitored and instruction should be based on the data collected.

Two types of monitoring for our discussion:

RtI Interventions

IEP Goals

Progress Monitoring RtI Interventions Core VII – Use data to make decisions. Create decision making guidelines to facilitate movement within and between tiers. Review of RtI Literature recommends using the relationship between the 3-4 most recent points and the aim/goal line. Refer to page 67 in Response to Intervention (the peach book) for generic guidelines.

PAMY’s Decision Making Guide 3-4 points below the line change instructional strategies or group dynamic (numbers of student or frequency of sessions) 3-4 points above and below the line continue 3-4 points above the line week 4 or 6 continue week 8 decide to continue, move to less intense tier or change goal

Advantages of utilizing decision points and graphs More streamlined (faster) effective meetings Makes the data more easily understood by ALL participants and increases the likelihood that the data will be used. Identifies effectiveness of instruction in a timely manner. Research indicates that the act of progress monitoring increases student achievement.

IEP Goals Document progress toward goals through data collection. Keep the students involved in their goals by allowing them to add their own data (yes, it is that easy!). Present data at staffings to discuss student progress, needs and plans.
