Training on measures…
We strongly recommended that
you watch these on demand
videos because all directions,
cover sheets , etc. are housed
here.
OR
Universal Screening
Universal
Screening
• Three times per year (fall, winter,
spring)
• ALWAYS on grade level
• ALL students are assessed
• Specific measures are used at each
grade level
• K-12 National Norms available
• Helps monitor the efficacy of our
instructional programs
Progress Monitoring
(no separate Strategic Monitoring)
Progress
Monitoring
• Occurs as often as weekly
• On or off grade level
• Can monitor any skill at any grade
level
• Has the ability to show interventions
and goal changes
• Allows educators to track students
response to instruction/intervention
New look and feel…
Navigation
• When users log in, they are taken to their home screen. When a
teacher logs in, the first thing s/he sees is the Benchmark Screen.
New Visuals
• A new “bulb” visual replaces the “box & whiskers” graphic.
Hovers
• As the cursor moves over students or bars, informational hovers
contain more detailed information about the student.
Colors
• Colors are used consistently to visually communicate. For example,
hot pink indicates that the user should take action

Key Points for SGP Table
• Student Growth Percentiles (SGP’s) were constructed
based on five initial score levels that relate to the
aimsweb national norms
-Very Low (1st–10th percentile)
-Low (11th–25th percentile)
-Average (26th–75th percentile)
-High (76th–90th percentile)
-Very High (91st–99th percentile)
• For each initial level, the following terms describe the
growth:
-85th-95th percentile: Ambitious
-55th-84th percentile: Closes the Gap
-Below 55th percentile: Insufficient
How are SGP’s used for
goal setting?
• System identifies the initial starting level
by the baseline score and grade level
chosen for the goal
• Based on the relationship of the number of
weeks and ending goal selected, the
system calculates whether the slope of the
goal line reflects an insufficient, closes the
gap, or ambitious growth.
Summary of SGP’s
Student Growth Percentiles (SGPs):
• Allow schools to evaluate the progress of
individual students relative to the rate of growth
shown by students with similar initial scores in a
national norm sample
• Controls for level to make a fair comparison
• aimsweb built this data into the slider bars so
that no calculations on the part of the educator
were necessary.
Progress Monitor Steps
Step 1
• Find appropriate grade
level for progress
monitoring
Step 2
• Use the embedded
slider bars to set goal
Step 1: Find appropriate grade
level
Students that score at or below
the 10th percentile nationally
Monitor off grade level
(more on this in a bit)
Students that score above the
10th percentile nationally
Monitor on current grade level
ON grade level monitoring
Comparison: national norms
Students that
score above
the 10th
percentile
nationally
• Use
grade
level
Set up monitoring
schedule and goal
Step 2: Set on level goal
and schedule for student…
Goal is not rigorous
enough to catch the
student up
Goal is enough to
move the student
forward
Goal is designed to
help the student
catch up
Set Intervention
• Interventions can be
pre-loaded or added
into the software
• Set up intervention
duration and
frequency
Off grade level monitoring
Comparison: national norms
Students that
score at or
below the
10th
percentile
Students
that score
above the
10th
percentile
nationally
• Use

Down
Method

schedule and goal
Drop Down Method (was
SLA)
Process of testing students at successively lower grade
levels to find the appropriate level for progress monitoring
Choose from the
progress monitor
probes**
Use only one probe
per grade level
Use the national
norms and decision
rules to determine
grade level for
monitoring
**Users must test students using the paper and pencil
method when conducting the drop down method
Set off grade level goals
and schedule for student…
1. Enter Baseline
score from
drop back
method
2. Choose grade
level
3. Follow the
previous steps
for setting up
schedule and
interventions

General Guidelines for
Analyzing PM Data
In general, it is recommended that you have 6-9 data
points before making a decision to change an intervention
or goal.
A projection line based on the students performance will
generate with 4 scores AND 6 weeks elapsed.
The system will provide feedback as to whether the
student is on target to meet their goal.
The more variability, the more data you need.
