Its crucial that we get an in-depth understanding of students development throughout the academic year– not just one or two times. I advise offering three universal math screenings– in spring, fall, and winter– and likewise have teachers keep track of development on a weekly basis.

Our district began doing this through curriculum-based measurement (CBM) roughly 17 years back. CBM has actually been connected to improved student scholastic outcomes, more efficient guideline, and higher trainee achievement.
Building upon the benefits of CBM, we began utilizing Spring Math, a math intervention option that combines tools for progress, assessment and intervention tracking. This has streamlined the assessment and grading process for teachers and provides a more thorough way to support trainees needs.
