  1. AIMSweb as a Program Evaluation Tool: Core Academic Areas • Early Literacy[K-1 benchmark, Progress Monitor (PM) any age] • Letter Naming Fluency • Letter sound fluency • Phonemic Segmentation Fluency • Nonsense Word Fluency • Early Numeracy (K-1 benchmark, PM any age) • Oral Counting • Number identification • Quantity discrimination • Missing number • Oral Reading (K-8, PM any age) • MAZE (Reading comprehension); (1-8, PM any age) • Math Computation (1-8, PM any age) • Math Facts (PM any age) • Spelling (1-8, PM any age) • Written Expression (1-8, PM any age) • Early Literacy and Oral Reading—Spanish (K-8) 22 AIMSweb CBM Measures! All reliable, valid, and take between 1-4 minutes to complete!

  2. Benchmark (Tier 1):3x per year Strategic Monitoring (Tier 2):1x per month for select studentsat risk for educational difficulties(Optional) Progress Monitor (Tier 3):Intensive assessment with adjustable frequency that matches need

  3. Benchmark (Tier 1) • Universal Screening • Identification of at-risk students • Program evaluation across all Tier 1 students • 1-4 minutes to complete assessments TIER1 BENCHMARKUniversal Screening—all students

  4. AIMSweb as a Program Evaluation Tool: Benchmark for Universal Screening 122 118 113 98 Target 96 89 84 79 68 56 28 BENCHMARK (3x year—all students)

  5. Benchmark Data: Universal Screening Move to Strategic Monitor (Tier 2): • More supportive interventions • More frequent data collection

  6. AIMSweb Solution: Benchmark (Tier 1):3x per year Studentfound to be below school’s target at Fall Benchmark

  7. Benchmark (Tier 1):3x per year Strategic Monitoring (Tier 2):1x per month for select studentsat risk for educational difficulties

  8. Tier 2: Strategic Monitor (Monthly) Provides option to increase assessment frequency for select students who have been identified as at-risk in the Benchmark process – or for all students if desired.

  9. Progress Monitor (Tier 3):Intensive assessment with adjustable frequency that matches need

  10. Survey-Level Assessment (SLA) • Used to determine the starting point for assessment. • For students who are being Progress Monitored (Tier 3) • Students “at-risk” • Gifted/Talented

  12. Goal-Setting: Reduced to Critical Indicators Reading In (#) weeks (Student name) will read (#) Words Correctly in 1 minute from randomly selected Grade (#) passages. Spelling In (#) weeks (Student name) will write (#) Correct Letter Sequences and (#) Correct Words in 2 minutes from randomly selected Grade (#) spelling lists. Math Computation In (#) weeks (Student name) will write (#) Correct Digits in 2 minutes from randomly selected Grade (#) math problems. Written Expression In (#) weeks (Student name) will write (#) Total Words and (#) Correct Writing Sequences when presented with randomly selected Grade (#) story starters.

  13. IEP Applications using CBM: Example of Present Levels of Educational Performance (PLEP( statement: Nicholas currently reads about 26 words correctly from Grade 3 Standard Reading Assessment Passages. He reads Grade 2 reading passages successfully; 52 correct words per minute with 5 errors, which is how well beginning 2nd grade students read this material.

  17. AIMSweb IS RTI • AIMSweb IS RTI • Solving the Documentation “Pain”AIMSweb also offers RTI documentation software thatexpands beyond numericdata collection and into qualitative, chronological, historical data & details. • Allows for documentation of allactions and assigned dutieswithin school’s Problem Solving/Student Support Teams

  18. District and School-Level (Administrator) Reports & AIMSweb Solutions

  19. Compare Peer-Group Trends: • Need: Ability to determining growth rates, AYP, and performance trends for various groups: • Risk groups • ELL/ESL • Ethnicity Solution:AIMSweb trend reports.

  20. Need: Need Grade-level rank-order Solution: Scores and Percentiles Chart Need: Determining LRE & Need Solution: Scores & Percentiles Table

  21. Need: Determining progress of students by Service Code Solution: Score Distribution by Service Classification table

  29. AIMSweb IS RTI RTI TIER 3 PROGRESS MONITOR TIER 2 STRATEGIC MONITOR TIER 1 BENCHMARK

  30. In other words AIMSweb RTI is: Progress Monitoring using formative assessment in a problem-solving model.

  31. AIMSweb: Big Solutions for School Needs • NCLB • AYP: progress and standards for all • IDEA • RTI: providing and documenting response to early intervention • IEP: providing and documenting response to specialized instruction • PROVIDING EFFECTIVE INSTRUCTION AND BEING ACCOUNTABLE FOR RESULTS

  32. Universal Screening SOLUTION • Benchmarking to identify at-risk students early

  33. Progress Monitoring SOLUTION • Monitor and Report Progress at the Student, Class, Grade, School and District level

  34. IEP SOLUTION • Intensive Progress Monitoring of IEP or other goals

  35. Prediction for Success on State Testing SOLUTION

  36. AYP Reporting SOLUTION • Evaluate Improvement Across Years

  37. NCLB Reporting SOLUTION • NCLB Risk Category Reporting • Service Code • ELL/ESL • Meal Status • Ethnicity

  38. DIBELS Reporting SOLUTION • Customers may use DIBELS measures, AIMSweb measures, or any combination of both

  39. Response to Intervention SOLUTION • Comprehensive RTI solution including universal screening (benchmarking) to determine need, and intensive progress monitoring to determine benefit. • Intensity of instruction based on NEED through DATA

  40. Eligibility usingRTI SOLUTION • Organize and evaluate the Response to Intervention for the purpose of determining special services eligibility • IDEA now allows use of RTI as part of the comprehensive evaluation process

  41. SOLUTION • AIMSweb RTI Puts • Need(Benchmark)and • Response (Progress)and • Problem-Solving Protocol • into a Single RTI Case ManagementProcess

  43. Curriculum-Based MeasurementCBM Meets NCLB Reading First Standards • Reading- Curriculum-Based Measurement (AIMSweb R-CBM), a standardized 1-min sample of oral reading where the number of WRC is counted • Has been deemed Sufficient for use in Screening, Progress Monitoring, and Outcome for Grades 1-3 and in subsequent grades The Secretary of Education’s Leadership Academy Assessment Committee Executive Summary of Final Report on Reading First Reading Assessment Analysis (2002)

  44. How does AIMSweb stack up to competitors? AIMSweb is the INDUSTRY LEADER using CBM for RTI: AIMSweb Offers: • The most skill areas covered of any competitor (22 skills) • The most alternate forms available • The most grade levels covered (K-8) • Comprehensive charting and reporting • 3 Tier levels! • RTI specific software component (exclusive) • Data Capture Tools (Palm, Pen)

  45. How does AIMSweb stack up to competitors? • Competing products exist that do SOME of the things AIMSweb does • No other product does ALL of the things AIMSweb does

  46. Tool Superiority The National Center for Student Progress Monitoring, NCSPM, is an independent evaluator of progress monitoring tools, frequently referenced in evaluating progress monitoring products. AIMSweb has been favorably referenced on this list since its inception. www.studentprogress.org
