Oregon Response to Intervention Progress Monitoring Out of Grade Level Sample Decision Rule: For students whose reading skills are well below grade level, the EBIS team may choose to monitor progress at the student’s instructional level as well as at their grade level. –Only grade level data should be used in making high-stakes decisions (such as referral to special education) –For students already in special education, the team may determine that it is appropriate to monitor less frequently in grade level material (i.e., monthly or 3 times per year). –For monitoring progress at a student’s instructional level, the team will select the measure that best matches the instructional content and goals, allows the student to demonstrate success with skill acquisition, and at the same time provides room for growth over time.
