Faculty Institute on Student Progress Monitoring and Data-based Instruction in Special Education
Participants of the Institute included representatives from special education teacher preparation programs across the nation. The goal of the two-day workshop was to introduce (or re-introduce) progress monitoring and data-based instruction in reading and math to faculty in ways that make it easy to include in their classes. The manner in which ongoing progress monitoring data can be used to formatively develop effective instructional programs was described and demonstrated in a manner that parallels how participants would teach their classes. Because No Child Left Behind and the need for all students to make adequate yearly progress has created pressures for schools and teachers to expand the repertoire of effective strategies, we held this Institute in an effort to ensure that beginning special education teachers are equipped with the skills they need.
