About this title

Synopsis

Curriculum-based measurement (CBM) has been adopted by growing numbers of school districts and states since the publication of this definitive practitioner guide and course text. The second edition presents step-by-step guidelines for using CBM in screening, progress monitoring, and data-based instructional decision making in PreK-12. It describes the materials needed and all aspects of implementation in reading, spelling, writing, math, and secondary content areas. Twenty sets of reproducible CBM administration and scoring guides and other tools are provided; the large-size format facilitates photocopying. Purchasers get access to a webpage where they can download and print the reproducible materials.

New to This Edition:

• Broader grade range--now has a chapter on secondary content areas.
• Chapter on early numeracy; expanded content on early reading.
• Nearly twice as many reproducible tools, including new or revised administration and scoring guides.
• Key updates on graphing and on using online CBM databases.

This book is in The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series, edited by Sandra M. Chafouleas.
