The PROGRESS MONITORING Recommendations list (last updated Fall 2024!) is truly the TOOLBOX for progress monitoring at SSD, as it has all possible recommended measures. FAST has a LOT more options than we used to have; however, there will still be times that you utilize measures beyond FAST. Use this document to see other SSD-approved progress monitoring assessments.
For more information about progress monitoring at SSD, here's a link to the SSD Assessment Refresher session content for Fall 2024.
For tips on how to read and explain a progress monitoring graph try this short video.
Direct links to some of the specific progress monitoring measures referenced on the doc above can be found in the Google Drive folder below!
The SSD PREDICTING and PLANNING list is your toolbox for predicting and planning assessments.
Predicting assessments (often referred to as screening assessments) are typically done with all students, & provide info about the knowledge & skill base of students, and overall growth across the year. Most predicting assessments take place 3x per year: fall, winter, and spring. For more specifics regarding SSD Screening Expectations, click here.
Planning assessments (often referred to as diagnostic tools) are used to identify specific strengths & weaknesses, or specific skill gaps. Most planning assessments take place as needed. Depending on the assessment, they might be administered at the beginning or end of the year to inform instructional planning, mid-year to inform transition planning, or as part of yearly IEP planning or 3-year re-evaluation to inform IEP goals.
