Progress monitoring is one of the most challenging aspects of MTSS. Educators often have questions about which measure(s) to use, how often to administer them, how to set goals, and how to use the results.

Answering these questions begins with a critical—and often overlooked—first step: clearly establishing your purpose.

In this edWeb podcast, two assessment experts cut through common misconceptions around progress monitoring. They also show you how to help your teams fully understand their purpose and make data-based decisions around instruction. Topics include:

• When to use multiple measures for progress monitoring—and the questions each measure answers
• How often to assess students, and how much data a team truly needs
• How to set the right growth goal for each learner
• How to determine adequate progress, and when to intensify your efforts

This edWeb podcast is of interest to K-12 school and district leaders, assessment directors, curriculum directors, MTSS directors, instructional coaches, and interventionists.
