Progress Monitoring and the Academic Facilitator
Cotrane Penn, Ph.D.Intervention Team SpecialistEast Zone
NC Requirements for Intervention
“…a personal education plan for academic improvement with focused intervention and performance benchmarks shall be developed…for any student at risk of academic failure who is not performing at least at grade level.”
G.S. 115C-105.41
RtI is…Response to intervention integrates assessment
and intervention within a multi-level prevention system to maximize student achievement and reduce behavior problems. With RTI, schools identify students at risk for poor learning outcomes, monitor student progress, provide evidence-based interventions and adjust the intensity and nature of those interventions depending on a student’s responsiveness, and identify students with learning disabilities.

What is Progress Monitoring?• Frequent brief assessments* to measure growth in areas of
need
• Conducted at pre-planned intervals of time (ex. Every Friday)
• Helps to determine intervention effectiveness
• Predicts student growth rate in targeted area(s)
• Allows teams to tailor interventions based on responsiveness to instruction
Progress Monitoring is not an intervention
Frequent brief assessments* to measure growth in areas of need

Qualities of a Good Progress Monitoring Tool
•It consistently measures the targeted skill of interest
•Sufficient number of alternate forms and of equal difficulty
•Provides numerical scores
•Sensitive to slow growth
•Brief
Why don’t we use classroom assessments for progress monitoring

Progress Monitoring Literacy
•Oral Reading Fluency CBM has the highest correlations with measures of reading comprehension, decoding, word identification, and vocabulary (Fuchs, 2004)▫Easycbm.com▫Interventioncentral.org▫Dibels.uorgegon.edu
Progress Monitoring Literacy cont.•Maze Fluency
▫Combined measure of fluency and comprehension Typically used for comprehension problems Not as robust as ORF
▫Growth in scores occurs more slowly than on ORF, but scores are comparable (Shin et. Al, 2000).
▫Aimsweb▫Intervention Central
Progress Monitoring Literacy cont.• Early Literacy
▫Letter Naming Fluency - identified frequently as the best single indicator of risk for reading failure
▫Letter Sound Fluency - with equal or better predictive ability to later general reading skills than the DIBELS Phonemic Segmentation measure
▫Phoneme Segmentation Fluency - the ability to hear critical sounds in the spoken word
▫Nonsense Word Fluency - the ability to link the written code with the most common sounds
