Progress monitoring tools chart available from Center on RTI
School leaders can now use a free progress monitoring tools chart to evaluate commercially available “progress monitoring” products and tools. The chart is available through the National Center on Response to Intervention, a federally funded project created to provide technical assistance on the implementation of Response to Intervention to state agencies and educators.
The National Education Association is a key partner of the center.
What is progress monitoring?
“Progress monitoring” is defined as the “repeated measurement of academic performance to inform instruction of individual students in general and special education in grades K-8.” Conducted at least monthly, it allows educators to make informed decisions about student performance and improvement.
What is important to know about the chart?
The result of a review by the Center’s Technical Review Committee, the chart provides ratings on the technical adequacy of progress monitoring tools used within an RTI context. The tools were rated against specific criteria developed by the TRC, such as reliability and validity measures.
This chart will help local and state make better decisions about which tools to use for student progress monitoring within an RTI approach.
