2. K-5: Progress Monitoring JANUARY, 2010 WAKE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM INTERVENTION ALIGNMENT

3. Desired Outcomes Participants will : Increase understanding of Progress Monitoring to meet the needs of students Learn how to Progress Monitor in 7 Steps Acquire tools to create/refine/validate a plan for Progress Monitoring students in Tiers 2 and 3

4. Code of Cooperation Honor time Participate Discuss openly and honestly Seek constructive solutions Limit sidebar conversations Respect others by putting your phone on vibrate

5. Pyramid of Interventions Tier I: Core Instruction Tier II: Strategic Targeted Interventions Tier III : Intensive Interventions 80%-90% 5%-15% 1%-7%

6. Formative Assessment CBM Is the student learning the content and subskills? Common assessments, conferencing, work samples, observations, program assessments, Curriculum Based Measures (CBM)

8. What about the students new to the “at risk” category, but you don’t know why? Dig Deeper

10. Pyramid of Interventions Tier I: Core Instruction Tier II: Strategic Targeted Interventions Tier III : Intensive Interventions 80%-90% 5%-15% 1%-7%

11. Once you have identified the missing skills…… PLAN and DELIVER THE INTERVENTION

13. Explicit and systematic instruction + Progress monitoring Intervention

14. How do we know if an intervention is effective?

15. Formative Assessment CBM Is the student learning and making progress toward a long-term goal which can predict future performance? ORF, NWF, PSF

16. Research-based practice of regularly assessing students’ academic performance with brief measures

17. Produces accurate, meaningful information about students’ academic levels and their rates of improvement Is sensitive to student improvement Corresponds well with high-stakes testing Informs instructional decisions that lead to higher student achievement

18. When teachers use CBM to guide instructional decision making, students learn more, teacher decision making improves, and students are more aware of their own performance.

19. What is Progress Monitoring?

20. Curriculum Based Measure (CBM) Universal Screening/Benchmarking Grade Level Fall, Mid Year, End Progress Monitoring Instructional Level Skill Assessment (NWF, PSF) General Outcome Measure (ORF)

21. Indicator Intermediary Goal % of Children Who Reach This Goal Also Reach ORF Goal by End of 1 st Grade Phoneme Segmentation 35 by end of K 80% of children reach ORF goal Nonsense Word 50 by middle of 1st 91% of children reach ORF goal Curriculum Based Measures as Predictors

22. Grade Level Words Read Correctly in Grade Level Passages to Reach ORF Goal at End of 3 rd Grade Curriculum Based Measures as Predictors First 40 words correct per minute (1st grade passage) Second 90 words correct per minute (2 nd grade passage) Third 110 words correct per minute (3 rd grade passage)

23. Progress Monitoring measures the student’s response to the intervention.

24. Progress Monitoring in 7 Steps

25. Progress Monitoring: 7 Steps 1. Select appropriate measure 2. Administer and score 3. Anchor with a baseline 4. Set a goal and aim line 5. Set a progress monitoring schedule 6. Set instructional decision rules 7. Communicate progress

26. John 4 th Grade

28. Review Universal Screening or Benchmark Data Fourth Grade Mid Year ORF= 75 wpm

30. ORF DIBELS Risk Level Chart: Grades 2-4 Mid Year Assessment Grade 2Grade 3Grade 4 0-510-660-82 52-6767-9182-104 68+92+105+

31. < 3 rd Grade ORF Then also administer NWF if learning decoding 1 st Grade Reading Level Progress Monitor ORF as a GOM

32. When to do PSF? If “At Risk” on the ORF 1 st Grade Passage Administer Phoneme Segmentation Fluency (PSF)

33. Which assessments do you think will be appropriate for your students?

37. Step 3: Anchor with a baseline

39. Step 4: Set a goal and aim line

41. Instructional Reading Level: 2 nd at 62 wcpm 18 (words gained) + 62 (words current) 80 words/minute 9 weeks x 2 words per week gain = 18

42. Baseline Aim Line Target Goal

43. Grade: 4 th Instructional level: 2 nd ORF Assessment: 33 wpm 40 wpm 36 wpm Intervention: 10 weeks Ambitious Goal Start date: 1/6/2010

44. 20 (words gained) + 36 (current words median) 56 words/minute 10 weeks x 2 words per week gain = 20

45. Step 5: Set a Progress Monitoring Schedule

46. How often? Weekly Bi-weekly Every 3 weeks

48. Step 6: Set instructional decision rules

49. How often to review?

50. 3-6 consecutive points along, stay the course!

51. 3-6 consecutive points above, raise the goal!

52. 3 consecutive points below the aim line, change something…. (Deno, Espin, & Fuchs, 2002)

53. Unstable line, look for trend

54. Teacher enter data and create easy to read charts to monitor progress. These can be found on the SST Blackboard site.

57. Step 7: Communicate Progress

61. Remember, it’s just one piece of data!

62. Progress Monitoring: 7 Steps 1.Select appropriate measure 2.Administer and score 3.Anchor with a baseline 4.Set a goal and aim line 5.Set a progress monitoring schedule 6.Set instructional decision rules 7.Communicate progress

63. Turn and Talk Now that you know the 7 Steps to Progress Monitoring, what are your thoughts?

64. Back at Your School Create a plan for progress monitoring at your school Share this presentation and your plan with your staff Start small

65. How can we support you?

66. Time for Reflection What are 3 things you learned today? What are 2 things you will take back to your school? What is 1 question that you have at this point?
