Full course description
The goal of this course is to provide general information about progress monitoring (PM) within a multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) framework.
This course is designed for administrators, instructional coaches, interventionists, and others who may participate on a district or campus problem-solving team. However, all learners are welcome. While this course focuses on progress monitoring within MTSS, the information provided is also relevant for special educators and others who track progress towards student goals.
After engaging in this course, learners should be able to:
- Identify what data are collected at each stage of the MTSS process.
- Describe essential components of PM measures.
- Describe additional considerations and ways to enhance PM practices for EB students.
- Identify different types of PM tools, including general outcome measures, mastery measures, and nonacademic PM tools.
- Explain how to use data to make instructional decisions, including how to examine intervention efficiency.
- Describe six steps for implementing effective PM.
- Determine effectiveness of intervention using four practice scenarios.
