Progress Monitoring

www.rti4success.org
Can run reports different ways - depending on login
Bi monthly progress monitoring for Tier II

Interventions:
Intervention Name
End Date
Starting Test
5 options for goals - Moderately Ambitious 50 SGP or 66 GSP (just above average growth)
Or define a custom goal
Progress monitoring report shows progress compared to the trend line
What statistical procedure is creating the trendline?
Does this give enough skill specific information?
SEM is 50 scale score points
You can void a test - only district administrator
Difference in probe model is no diagnostic piece

Interesting looking comparability report

Includes past, present and future growth profile
Compared to where to be in order to be proficient in EOG
Gives progression lines at different growth rates
Links from this report to resources for instruction

District Dashboard Navigator

Schools who are district average, who is below, who is growing, etc.

Performance Report
If students follow the growth model, this is what EOG will look like in May
Student Diagnostic Report

STAR Custom
Manage Tests
Manage Items - Different types of Items
Create tests from Item Banks
Click Align to a Skill
Students can see skill progress and score
Tests can be shared
Shows if you have used item on another assessment

K-12 Open Item Banks

Also Science Learning Progression
Can create skill specific Assessments
Can add your own questions
Can report by Skill Mastery

Possibilities:
Benchmark use with diagnostic guide
Develop PM tools

Concerns: Skill specific reporting?

Time to customize PM tools
Norming the PM tools
Transfer issues with 2nd graders taking tests online
With custom - not reliable, normed probes

Eliminates issue of what to choose to progress monitor

Gives goal for skill focus
