  1. State of IdahoBureau of Special Education Results-Based Model Core Training Developed by Gerald D. Nunn, Ph.D., NCSP School Psychology Program Idaho State University Revised July 2002

  2. Results Based Model Unit 6: Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM): Norming and Progress Monitoring in a Results-Based Model

  3. What is CBM? How is CBM used?

  4. C Curriculum B Based M Measurement Procedures applied to yourcurriculum (curriculum-based) to “school-based norms” and “monitor individual progress” in performance that are... • standardized • simple • short-duration • fluency measures reading,  spelling,  written expression,  mathematics computation.

  5. “Norming” your School “Progress Monitoring” Student Performance Two Basic Ways to Use CBM

  6. Qualities of Good Assessment • Facilitate improving instruction/intervention • Easily administered, scored, interpreted • Shouldn’t take us away from working with our students • Should “fit” with our general education curriculum, content, what we feel are important outcomes, things for children to learn

  7. Key Ideas about CBM • CBM measures are validated for use as dynamic, indicators, of basic skills or DIBS. • A principal purpose of CBM is “formative” vs. summative evaluation/assessment. • CBM may be used in a collaborative, problem-solving (teams) conext to make data-based decisions about how interventions influence results for students. Adapted from Shinn, 1998

  8. CBM as DIBS • D = Dynamic, indicates sensitivity of differences... • Sensitive“between” students, e.g. detects differences between children with reading deficits vs. those who don’t • Sensitive “within”, e.g. detects change in performance over time, e.g. progress of students

  9. DIBS • Indicators, probes, changes, getting better or getting worse, staying same? • Progress/change/status over time • Not the only indicator that could be used or measurement that could be used, doesn’t measure everything, not intended to or need to... I= Indicator, thermometer, vital signs

  10. DIBS Basic Skills in areas of: • reading, • spelling, • mathematics, and • written expression • Foundation skills, • literacy skills

  11. CBM Summative & Formative Evaluation • SummativeCBM may be used as a summative assessment, e.g. norming the school, allows long-term comparisons, benchmarks, comparisons. • Formative CBM can be used as frequent, ongoing measures over time, allowing for continuous data-based decision-making regarding outcomes of the strategies, interventions, programs we are implementing to improve learning.

  12. Questions that Assessment Needs to Answer to Help Kids • What is Sarah doing now (what can she do)? • What does Sarah need to do next (want her to do)? • Are Sarah’s math skills sufficient for her to succeed in Algebra? • Which word attack skills does Bob needs to master? • Is current instruction/intervention plan effective in improving Sam’s reading skills? • How do Mary’s written language skills compare to her peers? • After working with Mary for 8 weeks, what can I say “specifically” about change in her skills/performance? • What kids in our school are currently struggling(at-risk) and need help NOW! • What is a reasonable annual reading goal for Chris? • Into which reading group should Chris be placed?

  13. So, Assessment should help us… • Make educational decisions based on their practical importance to kids/families • Make teaching/instructional, and curriculum decisions based upon authentic, data-based student performance • Target specific academic skills that separate success from failure for the student • Use a “functional” measurement system that guides our daily instructional interventions through direct, frequent, brief and relevant measures from the students’ curriculum content.

  14. Why not continue to WISC, SB, WIAT & W-J them? • Are summative, not formative measures • Have low to no intervention validity or sensitivity • Measure differences between rather than progress over time • Do not yield information about how or what to teach • Cannot be used frequently (practice effects) • Cannot be used frequently (time) • Do not assess success relative to your curriculum

  15. C Curriculum B Based M Measurement Ways CBM Performance Data Is Used

  16. Provide school wide, classroom, program data for decision-making….

  17. Monitor student progress in relation to teaching interventions and make data-based changes

  18. Determine students who may need additional help or enrichment

  19. Set goals based upon your schools data

  20. Develop small groups for specialized strategies/interventions

  21. Determine if an intervention is effective Pre- Intervention Progress During Intervention

  22. Provide parents with progress charts relative to goals. 1st Qrtr 2nd Qrtr 3rd Qrtr 4th Qrtr

  23. Advantages of Using CBM forStudents... • Allows adaptation of teaching & curriculum to meet student’s needs Provides feedback, check on learning goals • Allows teachers to set realistic goals • Can motivate student achievement • Can encourage student responsibility • Can provide students with self-monitoring method

  24. Advantages of CBM for Teachers… • Provides brief and frequent measures of student progress • Focuses upon success relative to your curriculum • Helps brainstorm ‘solutions’ or what is “working” • Is “data-driven”, uses results to guide their instructional decisions • Refines, makes more specific, simplifies goal setting and decision-making

  25. Advantages of CBM for Parents • Targets specific indicators of basic skills • Is easy to understand • Frequent measures of their child’s progress “CBM Report Cards” • Common place or understanding to discuss “success” & “progress” with their child • Encouragement that action is being taken, and that results are being monitored

  26. 3 Big Ideas of CBM…. • CBM measures are validated for use as “dynamic” indicators of basic skills or DIBS. • The principal purpose of CBM is “formative” evaluation vs. summative. • CBM can be used more comprehensively in a Problem-Solving Model (RBM) to make a variety of data-based decisions. Adapted from Shinn, 1998

  27. DIBS CBM is uniquely suited for a Results-Based Model (Problem Solving) because... • Can be frequently given, and are sensitive to change • Makes comparisons relative to learning demands in class, school, district • Provides formative feedback at the individual as well as the school/district level • Reduces need for some evaluations that are not specifically focused upon “questions” or specific “concerns”

  28. What does Research Say About CBM? • Using CBM doesn’t increase special education placement rates • CBM differentiates between learning concerns of students (e.g. categories of LD vs. Non LD) • CBM are much more sensitive to academic growth than published achievement tests • CBM + Problem Solving = Academic Gains (about +.5 to +1 Effect Units) • CBM is useful to evalute program effectiveness as measured by change in DIBS • CBM is highly correlated with many other measures of achievement, both “standardized” and “informal”

  29. Components of CBM • Administration & Scoring of Probes • Utilize standardized administration & scoring procedure • Finding Normative, Instructional & Monitoring Levels of Student Performance • Define behavior, determine baseline, set up graph • Goal Setting • Write measurable, observable & specific goal

  30. Components of CBM- (Continued) • Monitoring • Collect and chart data 2-3 times per week • Decision Making • Utilize decision rules to make necessary changes • Instruction • Incorporate well defined interventions based on decisions made

  31. Assess students who may need at-risk services, special education, or enrichment activities Develop small groups for specialized strategies/interventions Set goals for learning based upon empirical data in your school Monitor a student’s progress Determine if an intervention is effective Assess new students to your school Task analyze student skills Provide school wide, classroom, district data regarding achievement, progress, response to initiatives/interventions Provide parents with regular “report cards” on progress relative to goals/interventions, or to classmates. Some Ways CBM Data Can Be Used:

  32. Core Testing Strategies of CBM • Reading,3, one-minute probes, fluency. • Spelling, dictated words, number of correct letter sequences or words spelled correctly • Written expression,complete “story starters” for 3 minutes, number of words written, words spelled correctly, or correct word sequences are counted • Mathematics,students write answers to addition, subtraction, mixed math, with 2 minute probe, # of digits written.

  33. Summary • CBM is used most effectively within a context of a Problem Solving Approach to intervention/service delivery • CBM and other direct functional measures have the advantage of their reliability, concurrent validity, and treatment validity • CBM and other functional measures are sensitive to change, can be repeatedly given, and therefore allow us to modify interventions and strategies without wasting valuable resources and learning for children.
