Universal Screening

• Three times per year (fall, winter, spring)

• ALWAYS on grade level • ALL students are assessed• Specific measures are used at each

grade level• K-12 National Norms available• Helps monitor the efficacy of our

Progress Monitoring(no separate Strategic Monitoring)

Progress Monitoring

• Occurs as often as weekly• On or off grade level • Can monitor any skill at any grade

level• Has the ability to show interventions

and goal changes• Allows educators to track students

response to instruction/intervention

New look and feel…

• When users log in, they are taken to their home screen. When a teacher logs in, the first thing s/he sees is the Benchmark Screen.

Navigation

• A new “bulb” visual replaces the “box & whiskers” graphic.

New Visuals

• As the cursor moves over students or bars, informational hovers contain more detailed information about the student.

Hovers

• Colors are used consistently to visually communicate. For example, hot pink indicates that the user should take action

Key Features

Alerts flag students falling below targets.

A goal-setting slider that makes setting goals easy,

and gives data-based feedback.

Easy access to both benchmark and

progress monitoring data that doesn’t

require a different user type or log-in

The functionality to pre-load a set of

intervention descriptions, easily

create custom groups, and create group data with the click of a button

Descriptions of GrowthAmbitious >85Closes the gap > 50-85 Insufficient <50

Key Points for SGP Table• Student Growth Percentiles (SGP’s) were constructed based on five initial score levels that relate to the aimsweb national norms

-Very Low (1st–10th percentile)-Low (11th–25th percentile)-Average (26th–75th percentile)-High (76th–90th percentile)-Very High (91st–99th

percentile)• For each initial level, the following terms describe the growth:

-85th-95th percentile: Ambitious-55th-84th percentile: Closes the Gap-Below 55th percentile: Insufficient

How are SGP’s used for goal setting?• System identifies the initial starting level

by the baseline score and grade level chosen for the goal

• Based on the relationship of the number of weeks and ending goal selected, the system calculates whether the slope of the goal line reflects an insufficient, closes the gap, or ambitious growth.

Summary of SGP’s

Student Growth Percentiles (SGPs):• Allow schools to evaluate the progress of

individual students relative to the rate of growth shown by students with similar initial scores in a national norm sample

• Controls for level to make a fair comparison• aimsweb built this data into the slider bars so

that no calculations on the part of the educator were necessary.

Progress Monitor Steps

• Find appropriate grade level for progress monitoringStep 1

• Use the embedded slider bars to set goalStep 2

Step 1: Find appropriate grade level

Students that score above the 10th percentile nationally

Monitor on current grade level

Students that score at or below the 10th percentile nationallyMonitor off grade level

(more on this in a bit)

ON grade level monitoring

• Use grade level

Students that score above the 10th percentile nationally

Comparison: national norms

Set up monitoring schedule and goal

Step 2: Set on level goal and schedule for student…

Goal is not rigorous enough to catch the student up

Goal is enough to move the student forward

Goal is designed to help the student catch up

Set Intervention

• Interventions can be pre-loaded or added into the software

• Set up intervention duration and frequency

Off grade level monitoring

Comparison: national norms

Set up monitoring schedule and goal

• Use Drop Down Method

Students that score at or below the 10th percentile

• Use grade level

Students that score above the 10th percentile nationally

Drop Down Method (was SLA)

Choose from the progress monitor

probes**Use only one probe

per grade level

Use the national norms and decision rules to determine

grade level for monitoring

Process of testing students at successively lower grade levels to find the appropriate level for progress monitoring

**Users must test students using the paper and pencil method when conducting the drop down method

Set off grade level goals and schedule for student…

1. Enter Baseline score from drop back method

2. Choose grade level

3. Follow the previous steps for setting up schedule and interventions

General Guidelines for Analyzing PM DataIn general, it is recommended that you have 6-9 data points before making a decision to change an intervention or goal.

A projection line based on the students performance will generate with 4 scores AND 6 weeks elapsed.

The system will provide feedback as to whether the student is on target to meet their goal.

The more variability, the more data you need.
