What is AIMSWeb?

• AIMSweb is a progress monitoring system based on direct, frequent and continuous student assessment. The results are reported to students, parents, teachers and administrators via a web-based data management and reporting system to determine response to intervention.

How Does AIMSweb Work?

• The AIMSweb system components provide one comprehensive progress monitoring and RTI Solution.

• Benchmark – Assess all students three times per year for universal screening (early identification), general education progress monitoring, and AYP accountability.

• Strategic Monitor – Monitor at-risk students monthly and evaluate the effectiveness of instructional changes.

• Progress Monitor – Write individualized annual goals and monitor more frequently for those who need intensive instructional services.

Can AIMSWeb provide prediction for success on high stakes tests?

• Yes. With one year’s worth of CBM test scores, we can create a correlation of high stakes test scores that AIMSweb uses to generate targets. Students scoring over those targets have a high probability of being proficient on the high stakes test.

Do students take tests on the computer?

• No. AIMSweb measures are administered "paper/pencil" style and scores are entered by hand or uploaded to the data system via Data Capture Tool options.

Is AIMSWeb considered diagnostic?

• No. AIMSweb is designed for universal screening and progress monitoring. While educators can get a lot of information from the performance of the student by doing item/error analysis informally, AIMSweb was not intended to be diagnostic.
