Progress Monitoring
You will find a copy of the data meeting decision report with the students who need progress monitoring in your mailbox based on our Continuum meeting. We need 3 data points completed for the measures that need to be progress monitored bi-weekly. Remember, the CORE phonics survey only needs to be done once before our next meeting. Below, you will find the next data meeting and a suggested timeline of when to progress monitor. Progress monitoring scores go into this spreadsheet. Progress Monitoring 2023-2024
