Webinar: Using CBM to Progress Monitor English Language Learners
Presented by Dr. Laura Sáenz (March 11, 2008 from 2:00 to 3:30 PM EDT)
This webinar was designed to help participants understand the potential benefits of using Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) for progress monitoring English language learners. Special emphasis is given to using CBM to progress monitor English language learners within the context of a Responsiveness to Intervention (RTI) Model. Two assumptions of the RTI model, adequate opportunity to learn and rate of learning, as they apply to English language learners are explored.
