Ic Unit 2 Study Guide

An effective progress monitoring according to Miller and Johnson Progress monitoring is conducted in all tiers of instruction; to facilitate data collection, measures must be easy to administer and effective; cut scores and decision rules must have clear rationale; helps teachers to assess how students are progressing academically Screening measures Help to identify which students need additional support in order to be successful in school An effective progress monitoring according to Miller and Johnson Rules for decision-making must be determined for all aspects of progress monitoring data, including cut scores for level (performance score), slope (change in performance over time), and percentage of mastery. Tier 1 Differentiated instruction methods are implemented by the classroom teacher and monitored through a variety of assessments. Curriculum based measurement, like DIBELS for reading skills, can help teachers to determine if students are making adequate progress. Tier 2 All students are frequently monitored to assess whether they are progressing in the general education classroom. Flexible grouping options can target areas of weakness for specific students who need more time or alternative approaches to master and apply new strategies Tier 3 Students are frequently measured for progress and alignment to their specific short term and long term academic goals. The frequency and intensity of the interventions are increased and often involve either collaboration or support, or both, from related specialists.
