Progress Monitoring
Progress monitoring can be implemented with individual students or an entire class. In progress monitoring, the teacher uses short tests to evaluate your child's progress in specific areas. The teacher may tests your child often - every week or two. The teacher creates progress graphs that show the child's progress toward the IEP goals. You may receive copies of these progress graphs every few weeks. If you do not, write a short letter to request your child's progress graphs. National Center on Student Progress Monitoring To meet the challenges of implementing effective progress monitoring, the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) has funded the National Center on Student Progress Monitoring, at the American Institutes for Research in conjunction with Vanderbilt University. This project has come to the end of its five-year contract but will continue to maintain this website with valuable resources. National Center on Student Progress Monitoring provides technical assistance to states and districts and disseminates information about progress monitoring practices proven to work in different academic content areas (Gr. K-5). You can find additional resources on student progress monitoring at National Center on Response to Intervention. How Does Progress Monitoring Work? What are the Benefits of Progress Monitoring?

Why Use Research Based Reading Programs? Progress monitoring assessments are used to measure growth in short amounts of time. Some assessments are not sensitive enough to measure all the components of reading. These assessments are chosen because they can show growth over short periods of time. Other assessments may not be sensitive enough to do that for all the components of reading. Just looking at fluency or comprehension is not enough.
