Curriculum-based Measurement in Mathematics: An Evidence-based Formative Assessment Procedure

This report describes M-CBM (Mathematics Curriculum-based Measurement) including a brief history, basic procedures, implications for practice, and further resources. It also reviews the research that supports the use of M-CBM. This document supports using progress monitoring to improve student achievement in mathematics for implementation of School Improvement Grants (SIG) requirements. The Center on Instruction hosted a webinar in November 2007 in which authors Erica Lemke and Pam Stecker discussed this report, along with another newly released resource. The WebEx archive and PowerPoint presentation are available here.
