Progress Monitoring: Academic & Behavior
Progress Monitoring: Academic & Behavior
What is Progress Monitoring?
What is Progress Monitoring?
Most students should respond to adequately developed, evidence based interventions implemented with fidelity. However, when students do not respond or do not respond at an adequate rate to close gaps, teams will wish to use individual problem solving to find solutions that accelerate that student's learning.
An individual problem-solving team then engages in individual problem solving as we continue the search for effective instruction for that student.
The team engages in progress monitoring: repeated measures of performance over time represented graphically. One student’s non-response to intervention is not meaningful without assurance of appropriate instruction/intervention, which must be determined within the context of the other students receiving similar instruction/ intervention.

"Once we can determine, through progress monitoring, that the intervention is effective for most of those receiving the intervention, we are able to accurately identify individuals who are not responding."

How will we determine if a student is progressing with intervention?
How will we determine if a student is progressing with intervention?
Current research indicates that length of time of intervention is the primary method of determining when to assess a student’s response.
Data point rules are used to see if they made progress or not, but these decisions cannot be made if the student has not been given enough time in the instruction to make progress.
A general rule of thumb (although each individual case will differ) is to monitor for a minimum of ten weeks and calculate the trend line with at least 7-10 data points to determine student response.
We then use the trend line to indicate if the response is positive, poor or questionable.

Making Decisions Regarding Progress Monitoring
Teams should think about the following points within analysis of graphed data in order to make sound decisions:
- What is the quality of the data set? In other words, is there a lot of variability? If yes, more data may be needed to make a reliable decision on progress.
- Has the data been collected under optimal, standardized conditions?
- If there are questions about quality, use the median of three data collection points for graphing rather than one. In other words, the only graphed points are the median of every three data points collected (consecutively or in multiple testing settings).
