Question 1

What are two ways to set goals using CBM? Provide an example of each.

Accepted Answer

Answers may vary but below is an example response:
Using benchmarks, or reference standards for minimally accepted performance, is one way to set goals. An example of this would be setting a long-term goal to read fluently by the end of 3^rd grade and using benchmarks on the way (e.g., fall of second grade) to decide whether the student is on track to meeting the ultimate goal. Using rates of improvement is another way to set goals. For example, a CBM package might show that 1.1 digits correct per minute per week is a typical growth rate for a third-grader. If a student started at 22 digits correct per minute, his or her goal would be 33 digits correct after 10 weeks of instruction (1.1 digits correct per minute per week x 10 weeks = 11).
