aimswebPLUS is an online assessment tool used to benchmark and progress monitor students. Benchmark assessments are administered three times a year in the fall, winter, and spring. These standards-based assessments are given at the student's grade level. The results will show the strengths and weaknesses of the individual student, class, and even grade level.
Progress monitoring is completed using curriculum-based measures which are also known as CBM. CBMs are used to measure students' growth and to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions the student is receiving. These progress monitoring assessments are brief, timed measures that are simple to score.
