Module 8 - Progress Monitoring

Description

This module beings with the review of a background knowledge flyer prepared by the data coach. The flyer includes key vocabulary and concepts relevant to progress monitoring. The module continues with a teacher navigating multiple iterations of the A+ Inquiry data utilization framework to conduct progress monitoring on an individual student identified as potentially at-risk during the universal screening process. The teacher navigates the A+ Inquiry framework a total of five times to select the student’s appropriate grade-level probe, compute the student’s baseline performance, compute the student’s end-of-year goal, evaluate the student’s at-risk status, and evaluate the impact of an intervention on a student. Participants will be given access to five A+ Inquiry graphic organizers and a progress monitoring flyer that will be completed during the module. The module includes 12 sections (parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12). Each part comprises multiple mastery-based chunks of content. If a participant answers all items correct in the activity portion of a chunk, the participant skips the accompanying tutorial and proceeds to the activity portion of the next chunk.

Learning Goals

Part 1 - Progress Monitoring: Purpose and Graphing

  • Increase knowledge of the purpose of progress monitoring
  • Increase knowledge of key elements on a progress monitoring graph

Part 2 - Progress Monitoring: Graphing and Data Cycles

  • Increase knowledge of key elements on a progress monitoring graph
  • Increase knowledge of 5 unique data cycles relevant to progress monitoring

Part 3 - Progress Monitoring: Cycle 1 - Select Grade Level Probe - Absorb, Ask, Accumulate

  • Increase knowledge of how to implement the Absorb, Ask, and Accumulate stages of A+ Inquiry to identify which data are required for selecting a student’s appropriate grade level probe

Part 4 - Progress Monitoring: Cycle 1 - Select Grade Level Probe - Access, Analyze, Answer, Announce, Apply

  • Increase knowledge of how to implement the Access, Analyze, Answer, Announce, and Apply stages of A+ Inquiry to select -- and take action based on -- the appropriate grade level probe for a student

Part 5 - Progress Monitoring: Cycle 2 - Compute Baseline Performance - Absorb, Ask, Accumulate, Access, Analyze

  • Increase knowledge of how to implement the Absorb, Ask, Accumulate, Access, and Analyze stages of A+ Inquiry to compute a student’s baseline performance level

Part 6 - Progress Monitoring: Cycle 2 - Compute Baseline Performance - Announce, Apply

  • Increase knowledge of how to implement the Announce and Apply stages of A+ Inquiry to take action based on a student's baseline performance

Part 7 - Progress Monitoring: Cycle 3 - Compute end-of-year goal - Absorb, Ask, Accumulate

  • Increase knowledge of how to implement the Absorb, Ask, and Accumulate stages of A+ Inquiry to identify which data are required for computing a student's end-of-year goal

Part 8 - Progress Monitoring: Cycle 3 - Compute End-of-Year Goal - Access, Analyze, Answer, Announce, Apply

  • Increase knowledge of how to implement the Access, Analyze, Answer, Announce, and Apply stages of A+ Inquiry to compute -- and take action -- based on a student's end-of-year goal

Part 9 - Progress Monitoring: Cycle 4 - Evaluate Risk Status - Absorb, Ask, Accumulate

  • Increase knowledge of how to implement the Absorb, Ask, and Accumulate stages of A+ Inquiry to identify which data are required for evaluating a student's risk status

Part 10 - Progress Monitoring: Cycle 4 - Evaluate Risk Status - Access, Analyze, Answer, Announce, Apply

  • Increase knowledge of how to implement the Access, Analyze, Answer, Announce, and Apply stages of A+ Inquiry to evaluate -- and take action based on -- a student's risk status

Part 11 - Progress Monitoring: Cycle 5 - Evaluate Impact of Intervention - Absorb, Ask, Accumulate, Access

  • Increase knowledge of how to implement the Absorb, Ask, Accumulate, and Access stages of A+ Inquiry to identify and retrieve data required for evaluating the impact of an intervention on a student

Part 12 - Progress Monitoring: Cycle 5 - Evaluate the Impact of Intervention - Analyze, Answer, Announce, Apply

  • Increase knowledge of how to implement the Analyze, Answer, Announce, and Apply stages of A+ Inquiry to evaluate -- and take action based on -- the impact of an intervention of a student

SLDS Data Use Standards
