Using Survey Level Assessment
Students are tested in successive levels of general
curriculum, beginning with their current expected grade
placement, until a level at which they are successful is
determined.
Survey level assessment can be used with R-CBM, RMAZE, M-CBM, M-CBM2, and MCBMAP

Making Decisions with Progress Monitoring Data
AIMSweb recommends at LEAST 4-7 data points before making programming
decisions …and you may want to collect more if you are uncertain.
• Trendline meets Aimline for ultimate goal:
→ Consider return to LRE.
• Trendline and AIMline for ultimate goal will intersect in relatively near future:
→ Continue current intervention until goal is reached.
• Trendline exceeds AIMline but student is being monitored with below grade
level material:
→ Consider increasing goal or difficulty level.
• Trendline is not going to intersect AIMline or it moves in opposite direction:
→ Consider adding additional intervention, changing variable,
and/or intensifying program.
19
Trendline meets
Aimline for
ultimate goal:
Consider return
to LRE.
20
Trendline and
AIMline for
ultimate goal will
intersect in
relatively near
future:
Continue current
intervention until
goal is reached.
21
Trendline
exceeds
AIMline but
student is being
monitored with
below grade
level material:
Consider
increasing goal
or difficulty
level.
If you change the grade level at which you are progress
monitoring, you will have to file the old schedule and set
up a new PM schedule for the new grade level.
22
Trendline
is not
going to
intersect
AIMline or
it moves
in
opposite
direction:
Consider adding additional intervention, changing variable, and/or
intensifying program.
23
Transferring PM Schedules
If another user is going to take over the progress monitoring of a
student, you can transfer the student’s schedule to that user.
Check the box beside the student(s)’ name and click Transfer Schedule.
The student will then be removed from your caseload.
24
File PM Schedules
You may file a student’s progress monitoring schedule if you are no longer
monitoring his/her progress (e.g., they achieved the goal and returned to LRE).
Click the box beside the student’s name and click File. This will remove the student
from you active caseload without deleting scores.
25
Viewing Filed PM Schedules
Even if you have filed a student’s schedule, you can still view these schedules.
You can also Unfile a student schedule if you want them back in your
active caseload.
26
Deleting PM Schedules
You may also delete a student from you progress monitoring caseload.
However, this will DELETE all progress monitoring scores.
Most likely, you will only use delete if you have accidently added a student to
your PM caseload that you are not working with. If a student has PM scores,
27
using the File or Transfer Schedule options may be more appropriate.
