A CLOSER LOOK (cont.) Announcements from Easy CBM appear at the bottom of the screen

LOG OUT Anywhere you see this Icon, you can click it to log out as well (students can too, so be careful) You can log out by clicking the button in the upper right corner or closing the browser window

Here you see all your students You can also create groups By default, all students associated with you are checked If you uncheck a student, you are unable to assign progress monitors to that student

STUDENTS The “Create Temporary Record” button should never be used! Updates are done to the system at least once a week Your interventionist can also create an association for you

GROUPS You can create groups though – and it makes it easier to assign tests When assigning tests, you can only assign to groups By default, there is one group (All Students) You can create as many groups as you want

CREATING GROUPS To make a group, click the “Add Group” button Name the group – Any name is fine – Students use it to find their assessment Click “OK”

CREATING GROUPS Once you click “OK” the new group is highlighted and all student checkmarks are gone

CREATING GROUPS You then have to manually add the students to this group Do this by clicking the box next to the student name This “associates” the student with the group

DIFFERENT GROUPS You can create a group with multiple students as well – Group is “lowest” – Group contains: Jackson Zach Khyle Brad

GROUPS The system will allow one student to be in multiple groups – Try to avoid this, as it will cause problems when assigning tests Only students in groups can be assigned tests – The “All Students” group can be assigned tests too There is no limit to the number of groups you can create Students always remain in the “All Students” group even when you put them in a different group

PRACTICE Create at least three groups – One group should have one person only – One group should have multiple people – One group must contain everyone not in either of the other groups These groups will be used later when we assign tests

MEASURES PAGE Let’s move on to measures

MEASURES TAB – PROGRESS MONITORS Choose Progress Monitor or Benchmark Notice different grades Notice different skills

MEASURES TAB – BENCHMARKS Notice different terms Notice different grades Benchmarks only default when window is open

BENCHMARKS There are several different benchmarks available The district wants to you to use: – Passage Reading Fluency (paper/pencil) – Vocabulary (online or paper/pencil) – Common Core Multiple-Choice Reading Comprehension (MCRC) (online or paper/pencil) – Math (grades 3-8; all High School IEP students and block Algebra) – Use Common Core State Standards Mathematics – Online or Paper/Pencil

BENCHMARKS Benchmarks should be given 3 times a year Grades 3-8 – all students should take benchmark at GRADE LEVEL

BENCHMARKS – HIGH SCHOOL Benchmarks should be given 3 times a year Grades 9-12 (IEP) – Teacher should take best guess of benchmark grade level, based on IEP and Reading (or Math) goals. Grades 9-12 – all IEP students should take benchmark at ONE LEVEL ABOVE PROGRESS MONITOR

DETERMINING RISK Once Benchmarking is complete, you can see risk level by clicking the Reports Tab Choose the grade level of the group you want to view Determine Risk Level Hold mouse over score to see %ile (you can also click “show %ile)

RISK =90-100Percentile =50-89Percentile =21-49Percentile =0-20Percentile

DETERMINING RISK MIDDLE SCHOOL After benchmarking, assign progress monitors for the students using the following criteria: – If a student is high risk, begin progress monitors TWO grade levels below student grade level – If a student is some risk, begin progress monitors ONE grade level below student grade level – If student is low risk, do not progress monitor

DETERMINING RISK HIGH SCHOOL After benchmarking, assign progress monitors for the students using the following criteria: – If a student is high risk, begin progress monitors TWO grade levels below benchmark level – If a student is some risk, begin progress monitors ONE grade level below benchmark level – If student is low risk, do not progress monitor

ASSIGNING PROGRESS MONITORS The Passage Reading Fluency (PSF) must be done on paper and scores input manually. Vocabulary (and/or Math) can be done on paper/pencil or online. Multiple Choice Reading Comprehension (MCRC) does not need to be progress monitored (unless required by an IEP) – You can choose to progress monitor these Use the district schedule to administer progress monitors

ASSIGNING MATH PROGRESS MONITORS The special education teacher needs to determine which skill of the math monitors is most appropriate for the student (based on the IEP). All regular division students receiving Tier 2 interventions will use the Common Core State Standards Benchmarks and Progress monitors. Use the district schedule to administer progress monitors.

HOW ASSESSMENTS ARE NAMED

SCHEDULE FROM DISTRICT HOW TO READ IT September 9 – October 3 Begin with measure that ends in “_1” at instructional level of child: For example: 3_1, 4_1, 5_1, etc. January 12–30 Begin with measure that ends in “_2” at instructional level of child April Begin with measure that ends in “_3” at instructional level of child

PROGRESS MONITORS You can have progress monitors administered online or on paper/pencil If you choose online, the student scores are automatically recorded If you choose paper/pencil, you must click the student responses into the system You can combine the two options *Passage Reading Fluency must be entered by hand

TO ASSIGN MONITOR BY HAND This screen will appear You have to click what the student chose (you do not grade the monitor) Click Save You can also do all students in group and hit save at end Repeat for all groups

CHANGING MONITOR FOR STUDENTS After student takes monitor online – you should log in and review the scores If the student needs to be moved up or down a level, you can do that Remember – monitors are at ability level, not grade/instructional level Use the following guide to determine if a student should be moved up or down a level or if the student should remain at same level

CHANGING MONITOR FOR STUDENTS If a student is achieving at 80% or more on three consecutive progress monitors, move up one level. If a student is achieving at less than 50% on three consecutive progress monitors, move down one level. If student is between 50% and 80%, remain at level. As always, other factors can play a factor in this determination

TO CHANGE MONITOR Click the “Take Online” button on the next assessment Assign to that group by clicking Uncheck the assessment above (or you can click “Take Online” to de-select it)
