Accountability and Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)
Presentation
Aligning Curriculum-Based Measurement with District Benchmarks and Annual Yearly Progress (AYP)
Presented by David Heistad | July 11, 2007
This 2-hour session was geared toward administrators who have experience implementing CBM at the district level. The challenges and benefits of administrating CBM initiatives in an era of increased school accountability due to benchmarking and end-of-year testing requirements was addressed.
The use of CBM in kindergarten in an urban school district was featured, including relating kindergarten benchmarks to state standards, applications of these benchmarks to “best practices” suggested by the National Reading Panel, and administrative uses of these data to improve accountability. Results of a study on kindergarten teachers who make exceptional growth on CBM measures was also presented.

Determining Adequate Yearly Progress From Kindergarten through Grade 6 with Curriculum-Based
Measurement
Adapted by Kellie Kim-Sung | National Center on Student Progress Monitoring
Progress monitoring is a scientifically based practice that teachers can use to evaluate the effectiveness of their instruction for individual students or their entire class. Teachers identify goals for what their students will learn over time, measure their students’ progress toward meeting these goals by comparing expected and actual rates of learning, and adjust their teaching as needed. The benefits of progress monitoring include accelerated learning for students who receive more appropriate instruction and more informed instructional decisions and higher expectations for students by teachers. Overall, the use of progress monitoring results in more efficient and appropriately targeted instructional techniques and goals, which, together, move all students to faster attainment of important state standards for their achievement.
