Pointer # 1: Monitor progress throughout the year

Its crucial that we get an extensive understanding of students development throughout the academic year– not simply one or two times. I suggest offering three universal math screenings– in winter, fall, and spring– and likewise have instructors keep an eye on development on a weekly basis.

Our district started doing this through curriculum-based measurement (CBM) roughly 17 years ago. CBM has been connected to improved trainee scholastic outcomes, more effective guideline, and higher trainee accomplishment.
