  • Making Data Matter: Using CBM in the RtI Decision-Making Process

    Curriculum–Based Measurement (CBM) is an assessment approach designed to measure the growth of student proficiency in core educational skills that are predictive of positive school success. This all-day workshop will provide an overview of CBM and discuss how to use CBM screening and progress monitoring data to make instructional decisions within a Response to Intervention (RtI) model. Steps involved in the RtI data-based decision making process will be outlined as well as procedures for establishing data-based decision making rules within a tiered intervention system.
    Key Topics:
    • Overview of CBM and its use in an RtI model
    • CBM Tools and Resources
    • Basics steps in an RtI data-based decision making process
    • Data decision-making rules in an RtI framework
    • Use of problem-solving steps to examine individual, grade-level, class - and school wide data

    This workshop will be offered 3 times this year throughout the state.

What is RtI?
  • NYS Regulations define RtI as a school district's process to determine if a student responds to scientific, research-based instruction, which minimally must include:
    • Appropriate instruction delivered to all students in the general education class by qualified personnel.
    • Screenings administered to all students for the purpose of identifying those students who are not making academic progress at expected rates.
    • Instruction matched to student need with increasingly intensive levels of targeted intervention and instruction for students who do not make satisfactory progress in their levels of performance and/or in their rate of learning.
    • Repeated assessments of student achievement which should include curriculum based measures.
    • Written notification to the parents regarding the nature and scope of interventions.
