Charting Example Jared M.

• Background. Your Teacher Support Team has
  completed a CBM survey-level screening in reading
  for Jared M., a 4th grader. According to his
  teacher, Jared reads at the beginning 2nd-grade
  level. An initial RTI Team meeting is held on
  Monday, January 20th. At that meeting, an
  intervention is designed Your team schedules a
  follow-up RTI Team meeting for Monday, March
  10th, about six instructional weeks from the date
  of the initial meeting.

Charting Example Jared M.

• 1. Survey-Level Assessment. On Jareds attached
  CBM Student Record Form, review the Survey-Level
  assessment results. For each level of CBM probe
  administered, circle the median Correctly Read
  Words (CRWs), Errors (E), and Percentage of
  Correctly Read Words (CRWs). Consult Table 1 on
  the Record Form to identify the students
  Mastery, Instructional, and Frustration levels of
  reading.

• 2. Set up the graph. At the top of your
  monitoring graph, put in these date-spans for
  each of the instructional weeks during which
  Jared will be monitored

• 3. Determine chart the students baseline
  reading rate. On the Record Form, review Jareds
  Baseline assessment information.
• Notice that the Book/Reading Level is not
  filled in for the Baseline observations. Find the
  highest instructional reading level that the
  student attained on the Survey-Level assessment.
  Write that book level in the appropriate blank in
  the Baseline observations.

• 3. 3. Determine chart the students baseline
  reading rate (Cont.)
• Circle the median CRW and E for each of the
  Baseline observations.
• On the progress-monitoring graph, chart the
  median CRWs and Es for all 3 observations.
• Circle this middle Baseline datapoint on your
  chart.

• 4. Set a performance goal. To compute Jareds
  performance goal in reading
• Use Table 2 on the Record Form to identify the
  rate of progress that Jared should make each week
  in goal-level (3rd-Grade) reading material.
• You will recall that your RTI Team has decided to
  monitor Jareds reading for six weeks before
  holding a follow-up meeting. To compute how much
  Jareds reading rate should increase in that
  time, multiply his expected weekly progress by
  the number of weeks that he will be monitored.
• Add Jareds expected reading progress to his
  baseline reading rate. This combined figure is
  Jareds reading goal.

• 5. Plot the Aim-Line. To graph a 6-week
  aim-line
• Draw a vertical dividing line (start-line) at
  the point where the intervention will begin
  (start of Week 1).
• Draw a second dividing line on the graph
  (end-line) that marks the conclusion of six
  weeks of monitoring (end of Week 6).
• On the start-line, mark an X at the point that
  is equal to the value of your circled baseline
  datapoint.
• Mark Jareds reading goal with an X at the
  appropriate spot on the end-line.
• Now draw a straight line between the start-line
  and end-line Xs. This is your charts aim-line.

• 6. Plot Jareds progress-monitoring data. Review
  Jareds CBM data for the first six weeks of
  progress-monitoring.
• Circle the median CRWs and Es.
• Plot these values on the chart. What conclusions
  do you draw from the chart?
• Based on these data, should the RTI Team
  recommend changing Jareds intervention? Keep it
  in place with no changes? Why?

• 7. Continue with progress monitoring. Assume that
  your RTI Team met for the follow-up meeting and
  changed Jareds reading intervention. The team
  plans to monitor for another 6 weeks

25
Charting Example Jared M.

• 7. Continue with progress monitoring (Cont.).
• Compute a new baseline for Jared by looking at
  his most recent 3 CRW data points and circling
  the median value.
• Compute how much Jareds reading rate should
  increase after 6 additional weeks of intervention
  and add this amount to his new baseline reading
  rate. This is Jareds revised reading goal.

• 8. Plot the rest of Jareds progress-monitoring
  data.
• Identify Jareds median data for the final 6
  weeks of progress-monitoring (see Weeks 7-12 on
  the Student Record Form).
• Plot these values on the chart.
• What conclusions do you draw from the chart?
  Based on these data, should the RTI Team
  recommend changing Jareds intervention? Keep it
  in place with no changes? Why?
