"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.

"Writing is an essential skill one must have to function in society. Writing instruction and assessment have not been at the forefront of education in America when compared to reading and math. Curriculum Based Measurement in Written Expression (WE-CBM) offers and efficient way to assess and monitory progress in writing. The current study examines the interrater reliability, test-retest reliability, and criterion validity of WE-CBM with a sample of sixty-seven fifth grade students by evaluating the relationship of WE-CBM to the Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL). Test-retest reliability and interrater reliability were established. Criterion validity was established among the two scoring methods for WE-CBM but not for both scoring methods in relation to the WASL"--Document.

"The purpose of this study is to evaluate Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) performance as a predictor of student performance on the Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL) for fourth grade students through the administration of reading, spelling, math computation, and written expression CBM probes to 38 fourth- grade students attending an inland northwest elementary school. Linear regression analyses of CBM and WASL data indicated that CBM performance was a significant predictor of WASL performance for these students"--Document.

To achieve national goals for education, we must measure the things that really count. Measuring What Counts establishes crucial research- based connections between standards and assessment. Arguing for a better balance between educational and measurement concerns in the development and use of mathematics assessment, this book sets forth three principlesâ€"related to content, learning, and equityâ€"that can form the basis for new assessments that support emerging national standards in mathematics education.

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.

Curriculum-based measurement (CBM) has been adopted by growing numbers of school districts and states since the publication of this definitive practitioner guide and course text. The second edition presents step-by-step guidelines for using CBM in screening, progress monitoring, and data-based instructional decision making in PreK-12. It describes the materials needed and all aspects of implementation in reading, spelling, writing, math, and secondary content areas. Twenty sets of reproducible CBM administration and scoring guides and other tools are provided; the large-size format and lay-flat binding facilitate photocopying. Purchasers get access to a Web page where they can download and print the reproducible materials. New to This Edition: *Broader grade range--now has a chapter on secondary content areas. *Chapter on early numeracy; expanded content on early reading. *Nearly twice as many reproducible tools, including new or revised administration and scoring guides. *Key updates on graphing and on using online CBM databases. This book is in The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series, edited by T. Chris Riley-Tillman. See also The ABCs of Curriculum-Based Evaluation, by John L. Hosp, Michelle K. Hosp, Kenneth W. Howell, and Randy Allison, which presents an overarching problem-solving model that utilizes CBM.

Simple in concept, far-reaching in implementation, Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) was developed in the 1980s as an efficient way to assess the progress of struggling students, including those with disabilities. Today, there are few areas of special education policy and practice that have not been influenced by CBM progress monitoring. The impact of CBM is reflected in recent education reforms that emphasize improvements in assessment and data-based decision making. Gathering an international group of leading researchers and practitioners, A Measure of Success provides a comprehensive picture of the past, present, and possible future of CBM progress monitoring. The book will be instrumental for researchers and practitioners in both general and special education, particularly those involved in the rapidly growing Response to Intervention (RTI) approach, an approach used to determine the performance and placement of students with learning difficulties. A Measure of Success presents a nuanced examination of CBM progress monitoring in reading, math, and content-area learning to assess students at all levels, from early childhood to secondary school, and with a wide range of abilities, from high- and low-incidence disabilities to no disabilities. This study also evaluates how the approach has affected instructional practices, teacher training, psychology and school psychology, educational policy, and research in the United States and beyond. Timely and unique, this volume will interest anyone in education who wants to harness the potential advantage of progress monitoring to improve outcomes for students.

"The purpose of this study was to assess whether Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) performance predicted student performance on the Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL) for 360 seventh-grade students attending a rural middle school in the Inland Northwest. Linear and logistic regression analyses indicated that CBM Reading (WRC), Math Computation (CD), and Written Expression (CWS) measures were significant predictors of WASL Reading, Math, and Written Expression performance, respectively, during fall, winter, and spring quarters ofthe academic year. The predictive relation between CBM Written Expression (CWS) and WASL Writing was the strongest during each quarter"--Document.
