7. Step 1: Select Measure Select the General Outcome Measure (GOM) to be Assessed Note: If you select more than one measure, the student will be listed more than once on your PM caseload (the same schedule will be created for each measure). 7

9. Step 3: Baseline and Goal Enter Benchmark Scores or use the Survey Level Assessment Feature to Determine Baseline 9

10. Using Survey Level Assessment Students are tested in successive levels of general curriculum, beginning with their current expected grade placement, until a level at which they are successful is determined. Survey level assessment can be used with R-CBM, R-MAZE, M-CBM, M-CBM2, and MCBMAP 10

19. Making Decisions with Progress Monitoring Data • AIMSweb recommends at LEAST 4-7 data points before making programming decisions …and you may want to collect more if you are uncertain. • Trendline meets Aimline for ultimate goal: → Consider return to LRE. • Trendline and AIMline for ultimate goal will intersect in relatively near future: • → Continue current intervention until goal is reached. • Trendline exceeds AIMline but student is being monitored with below grade • level material: • → Consider increasing goal or difficulty level. • Trendline is not going to intersect AIMline or it moves in opposite direction: → Consider adding additional intervention, changing variable, • and/or intensifying program. 19

20. Trendline meets Aimline for ultimate goal: • Consider return to LRE. 20

21. Trendline and AIMline for ultimate goal will intersect in relatively near future: • Continue current intervention until goal is reached. 21

22. Trendline exceeds AIMline but student is being monitored with below grade level material: • Consider increasing goal or difficulty level. If you change the grade level at which you are progress monitoring, you will have to file the old schedule and set up a new PM schedule for the new grade level. 22

23. Trendline is not going to intersect AIMline or it moves in opposite • direction: • Consider adding additional intervention, changing variable, and/or intensifying program. 23

24. Transferring PM Schedules If another user is going to take over the progress monitoring of a student, you can transfer the student’s schedule to that user. Check the box beside the student(s)’ name and click Transfer Schedule. The student will then be removed from your caseload. 24

25. File PM Schedules You may file a student’s progress monitoring schedule if you are no longer monitoring his/her progress (e.g., they achieved the goal and returned to LRE). Click the box beside the student’s name and click File. This will remove the student from you active caseload without deleting scores. 25

26. Viewing Filed PM Schedules Even if you have filed a student’s schedule, you can still view these schedules. You can also Unfile a student schedule if you want them back in your active caseload. 26

27. Deleting PM Schedules You may also delete a student from you progress monitoring caseload. However, this will DELETE all progress monitoring scores. Most likely, you will only use delete if you have accidently added a student to your PM caseload that you are not working with. If a student has PM scores, using the File or Transfer Schedule options may be more appropriate. 27
