2. Learning Objective Learning Intention: Success Criteria:
We are learning how to identify baselines in order to progress monitor Math interventions using easyCBM and EXCEED.
Success Criteria:
We will be successful when we can return to our classrooms and navigate easyCBM in order to progress monitor my intervention students and successfully get data onto EXCEED.

3. How well do you know easyCBM?
0- I have never seen that word before 1- 2- 3- 4-
5- I have consistent dreams about it

4. Today’s Agenda
Set –up student groups on easyCBM for intervention purposes
Review how to select most appropriate probe for setting baseline/math interventions.
Create progress monitoring plan on EXCEED using a template and add scores.

5. Click on the “E” for easyCBM
Getting Started
Click on the “E” for easyCBM

6. Getting Started http://mps.wi.easycbm.com
Login using your district username
Your initial password is: welcome1

7. Selecting Students to Start
Go to the Students tab or link
Once you type in your User Name and Password, you will see this screen. Here, you can see the different tabs in the site: Home, which is where we are right now, a Students tab, which shows you the student rosters the district has listed for you, a Measures tab, which is where you will enter benchmark scores and access and activate the progress monitoring measures, a Reports tab, which is where you will go to see how students are doing on their assessments, and an Account tab where you can edit your own account information. There’s also a link to a section where testers can learn how to administer and score the measures. We’re going to start with the Students tab, then move our way through the rest.

8. Selecting Students to Start
Now select Teacher/Student Setup.

are Available in Spanish!!

18. Selecting Most Appropriate Probe for Setting Baseline
Scenario 1: If students has taken the easyCBM Math Benchmark as Universal Screener and has been identified for Math intervention through the screening process, teacher should…
Next Step: Administer easyCBM current grade level (or adjusted grade level) probe that aligned to the first math intervention focus to begin to determine which grade level to intervene (handout).
Find percentile of probe score:
Path 1: above the 50th percentile, doesn’t support need for intervention in that area
Path 2: between the 10th and 50th percentile, use the probe percentile score as baseline
Path 3: below the 10th percentile, use lower level probe in first math intervention focus area (handout), making adjustments until the student is scoring between the 10th and 50th percentile, use the probe percentile score as baseline.

19. Selecting Most Appropriate Probe for Setting Baseline
Scenario 2: If students has taken the Math MAP as Universal Screener and has been identified for Math intervention through the screening process, teacher could…
Administer easyCBM current grade level Benchmark assessment (Example: CCSS Math 3*_fall**) to begin to determine which grade level to intervene and administer probe aligned to the first math intervention focus (handout).
*depends on grade of student
**depends the time of the year OR
Use the RIT score from MAP to guide them in which grade level to intervene and administer probe aligned to the first math intervention focus (handout)

20. Selecting Most Appropriate Probe for Setting Baseline Cont.
Next Step: Administer easyCBM current grade level (or adjusted grade level) probe that aligned to the first math intervention focus to begin to determine which grade level to intervene (handout).

Path 2: between the 10th and 50th percentile, use the probe percentile score as baseline

Pro –we can see which students need help in which domain!
Pro – organized by domains!
Con – each question is individual instead of a summary per student

24. Online Progress Monitoring
click here for the on-line option
This area will pop up and you will be able to select the group

25. The Simple Guide to using Progress Monitoring Probes
Go to Measurements Tab
Select grade level and probe from appropriate measure
Click “Take Test Online” or “Enter Scores”, then select the group to take the test

26. The easyCBM assessments
Getting Students Started
The progress monitoring assessments available on easycbm were developed using Item Response Theory (IRT), a state-of-the-art statistical procedure (the same stats used by the makers of the SAT, the GRE, and most major large-scale assessments).
IRT differs from classical statistical approaches in that it involves much more complex mathematics, simultaneously estimating the ability of the student and the difficulty of each item based on the pattern of responses across all items taken by all students.

55. Frequency of Progress Monitoring
A easyCBM probe for Math is used every 10th intervention session with the student
For Math, you will use Odyssey Assessment every 5th intervention session when easyCBM is not used to progress monitor
Not entered Odyssey data into Exceed as a data point, can be entered as a note on Exceed

56. SLD
Progress Monitoring must occur and be documented AT GRADE LEVEL and needs to occur every week.
For Math- an alternative CBM (alternative progress monitoring) must be used every week whenever easyCBM is not being used
School Psychs have received training on what these are (ie- a 40 problem test on 3 digit division)
