PaTTAN’s Mission

The mission of the Pennsylvania  Training and Technical Assistance  Network (PaTTAN) is to support the  efforts and initiatives of the Bureau  of Special Education, and to build the  capacity of local educational  agencies to serve students who  receive special education services.

Progress Monitoring for Students  with IEPs: An Introduction Webinar

PDE’s Commitment to Least Restrictive Environment (LRE)

Our goal for each child is to ensure   Individualized Education Program (IEP)   teams begin with the general   education setting with the use of   Supplementary Aids and Services   before considering a                             more restrictive environment.

Outcomes Participants will: 1. Gain an understanding of the purpose of, and  requirements around, progress monitoring in the  IEP process. 2. Identify characteristics of effective progress  monitoring procedures. 3. Analyze examples of progress monitoring reports. 4. Identify useful resources for accessing  information about progress monitoring. 4

What is Progress Monitoring? • Method of formative assessment tells us how  well students are responding to instruction • Assists in making instructional decisions and  building more effective programs for students • Guides data collection • Provides summative evidence of progress  towards goals

Progress Monitoring Answers Questions  Is the student making progress at an acceptable  rate?  Is the student meeting short‐ and long‐term IEP  goals?  Does the instruction or intervention need to be  adjusted or changed?

Provides  regular and  frequent data  collection Uses an  equivalent  measure each  time

Measures the  behavior  outlined in  the goal

Contents of IEP

Is easy to  implement Takes a short  amount of  time from  instruction

Effective  Progress  monitoring

Allows for  analysis of  performance  over time

• HOW the child’s progress toward meeting the  standard aligned goal will be measured   • WHEN periodic reports on progress will be  provided to parents  • The requirement in special education is that  the student make progress in the general  education curriculum. 8

Progress Monitoring in A Standards  Aligned System

Approaches to Progress Monitoring

• Purpose: determine progress in the general  education curriculum • Progress in the general education curriculum is  determined according to progress in mastery of  subject matter content • Consider multiple sources of data

Mastery Measures

Sample Goal:  John will correctly add 16 of 20 mixed multi‐ digit addition (with and without regrouping) problems in three  of four consecutive trials.

• Describe mastery of a single skill in a series of short‐ term instructional objectives • Represent a logical, not an empirical, hierarchy of  skills • Technical problems for quantifying progress across  objectives: – cannot index maintenance of skills – unknown reliability and validity of tests   – objectives are not equivalent “units”

• Can measure academic and functional skills 12

Setting Appropriate Goals Using CBM  1. Consider normative data for typical growth  rates across the year. 2. Consider level of performance appropriate  for grade level. 3. CBM decision rule helps teachers know  when goals should be raised. (Goals are not  lowered.)

Setting Appropriate Goals: Mastery   Measures/Specific Skills

• GOM does not work well for specific skills  progress monitoring • Key to mastery measurement/specific skills  monitoring is measurable, objective goals – Determine progress expected between baseline  and end of year/duration of IEP

• Consider use of 52‐week graph if student  receiving ESY services • Apply data decision rules at data checks

Choosing a PM Tool

Choosing a PM Tool

I am a teacher with 25 students in my classroom and cannot  afford to set aside blocks of time to administer progress  monitoring probes to selected students. Are there tools that  can be administered by the paraprofessional in my  classroom? ̶ Some tools can be administered by a paraprofessional,  following the guidelines of your LEA. It is important for  anyone administering the assessments to be trained.

I am interested in finding a tool that I can use to monitor my  students’ progress weekly or even more frequently. Are there  tools that have at least 20 alternate forms?

Data Collection  Decisions

What to look for when evaluating the data… 

Data Collection Tools

Is the student making progress toward the goals and objectives?  “Rule of Thumb” – If 4 of the last 6 data points or 4 consecutive data points fall below aim line, student is not making progress

Evaluation of Data

 

Progress Monitoring:  A Seven‐Step  Approach

Instructional  Adjustments 

Communication of  Progress

Baseline data Established timeline Established aimline/goal line

How is the student responding to the intervention?  Specially designed instruction  Instructional materials and methods

41

Example Decision Rules Are. . .

42

Example Decision Rules Are. . . If the student’s performance is above the aimline after 3-days (or wait another 3-days), it may be appropriate to raise the aimline. Draw a line parallel to and above the aimline.

If a student’s performance is below the aimline on 3 consecutive days, but is parallel to the aimline, one may decide to “wait” to see if student performance accelerates in level to reach the original aimline. If the student’s performance continues below the original aimline, implement a different teaching strategy. Draw a vertical line on the graph that symbolizes a change in the program. 43

• If the student IS making progress…



– Celebrate! – Keep doing what you are doing – Consider increasing expectations as   appropriate

If the student IS NOT making progress – Consider changes in intervention strategies • Specially Designed Instruction (intensity, duration,  frequency) • Instructional materials • Instructional arrangements (teacher‐student ratios, use  of peers) • Motivational strategies/Reinforcement schedule • Allocated time for particular lesson components

• Increasing accuracy/Decreasing errors • Increasing automaticity • Applying knowledge independently
