Developed specifically to overcome problems with traditional standardized instruments, curriculum-based measurement (CBM) has steadily increased in educational use. These brief assessment probes of reading, spelling, written expression, and mathematics serve to quantify student performance as well as to enhance academic achievement. Their widening use as a means of evaluation and ultimately of instruction, has created a corresponding need to expand the applications of this methodology to diverse populations. This new volume addresses that need by focusing on the broader application of CBM, providing practical new measures, as well as detailing their use with specific student groups.

This reference guide provides an overview of the purposes and uses of curriculum-based measurement (CBM), a standardized approach to assessing student performance in order to inform educational and instructional decision making. This guide is designed for teachers, administrators, and other educators who are considering using CBM, want an introduction to CBM, or need a quick and easy reference. It is also useful for educators to use with parents and students as an introduction to CBM. Written by two of the authors of the national bestseller, The ABCs of CBM: A Practical Guide to Curriculum-Based Measurement.

One of the best methods of formative assessment in academic areas and a method that exemplifies the characteristics of good measures is Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM; Deno, 1985). Developed at the University of Minnesota in the early 1970's, CBM has been researched in academic areas including mathematics computation, concepts, and applications; early numeracy; reading; early literacy; writing; spelling; science; and social studies. This paper describes Mathematics-CBM (M-CBM), including a brief history, basic procedures, implications for practice, and further resources. In addition, this paper reviews the research that supports the use of M-CBM. The intended audience is practitioners or researchers who are seeking more information on M-CBM procedures and the research that supports the use of these procedures. Resources for CBM Information are appended. (Contains 4 tables.).

Curriculum-Based Measures (CBMs) in reading and their relationship to state standardized tests have been established and an important feature of CBMs. This study will examine the predictive relationship of CBMs (i.e. computation and application) in mathematics on a state standardized assessment for elementary students. This will assist educators in the early identification of problems and the adjusting of their instructional practices in order to promote proficiency on state assessments. The current study used 97 students from one school (35 third graders, 25 fourth graders, and 37 fifth graders). Students were given three probes, two weeks apart. The average scores on the probes tended to increase in all three grade levels for both computation and concepts/applications. A regression analysis indicated that both computation and application probes were significant in predicting WKCE results, indicating that math CBMs can be a valid tool in predicting future performance on WKCEs.

This book provides an overview of current research on a variety of topics related to both large-scale and classroom assessment. First, the purposes, traditions and principles of assessment are considered, with particular attention to those common to all levels of assessment and those more connected with either classroom or large-scale assessment. Assessment design based on sound assessment principles is discussed, differentiating between large-scale and classroom assessment, but also examining how the design principles overlap. The focus then shifts to classroom assessment and provides specific examples of assessment strategies, before examining the impact of large-scale assessment on curriculum, policy, instruction, and classroom assessment. The book concludes by discussing the challenges that teachers currently face, as well as ways to support them. The book offers a common language for researchers in assessment, as well as a primer for those interested in understanding current work in the area of assessment. In summary, it provides the opportunity to discuss large-scale and classroom assessment by addressing the following main themes: ·Purposes, Traditions and Principles of Assessment ·Design of Assessment Tasks ·Classroom Assessment in Action ·Interactions of Large-Scale and Classroom Assessment ·Enhancing Sound Assessment Knowledge and Practices It also suggests areas for future research in assessment in mathematics education.

"The educational system has placed an emphasis on reading instruction and assessment. Districts are now making a change to place more attention on the area of mathematics. The challenge of helping all students at their level of instruction has become more noticeable and systems are beginning to make a change to the response to intervention model. More of an importance is placed on monitoring students and ensuring that all are receiving appropriate instruction and interventions. Curriculum-based measurement in math offers an efficient way to assess and monitor progress in math calculation. The current study examines the technical adequacy of a school created math screening tool by investigating reliability and criterion related validity of the measure. The relationship between the screening tool, the WASL math test, and a published math CBM with national norms (AIMSweb) is examined with a sample of 278 fourth and fifth grade students. The screener demonstrated strong reliability evidence and has some evidence for validity"--Document.

This textbook provides in-depth instruction for conducting psychoeducational assessments of children in grades K-12 and conveying results through detailed, well-written reports. It takes readers step by step through the assessment process – collecting data, writing reports, and communicating conclusions – for students with conditions spanning the range of IDEA classifications such as autism, learning disabilities, emotional disturbances, and conditions covered by Section 504. The book offers not only a broad understanding of assessment and communication skills, but also of the ethical, legal, cultural, and professional considerations that come with psychoeducational evaluation. And its sample reports model clear, well-organized results accessible to parents and caregivers as well as teachers and colleagues. Key areas of coverage include: • Assessment basics: the testing environment and protocols, interviewing, and observation. • Report writing section by section, from reason for referral to summary and recommendations. • Guidelines for oral reporting, with case examples. • Special issues in psychoeducational assessment and report writing. • Sample psychoeducational reports using this framework. Psychoeducational Assessment and Report Writing is an essential text for graduate students, researchers, professors, and professionals in child and school psychology; assessment, testing, and evaluation; social work; and psychological methods/evaluation.

The contributors to this volume represent the most prominent researchers and thinkers on issues in educating students with and without disabilities. The book captures the most current thinking, research, and analysis on the full range of issues in educating students with learning disabilities, from its definition to the most recent case law and interpretations of federal law on educating these students in the general education classroom. The contributors' words speak sufficiently, mellifluously, and exactingly about their contributions to the education of all students, in particular those with disabilities. This book of essays was written to pay tribute to Barbara D. Bateman, who -- along with Sam Kirk -- coined the term "learning disabilities." Its content reflects the significance of her contributions to the field of special education.
