Curriculum-based measurement is an important assessment tool for data-based
decision-making. One of the greatest benefits is the ability to monitor student progress in
academics over time.
Develop an original response guided by these questions:
● Locate and watch an online video of a teacher using a CBM probe and post the URL of
the video. Have you used this type or other types of CBM in your professional practice?
Compare and contrast your practices with those demonstrated in the video.
● Based on your experience, what are some of the benefits or drawbacks of this type of
assessment?
● How can you see CBM being integrated into a classroom schedule? How could you
use
CBM in virtual education?
Respond to the posts of at least two classmates. In your responses, either watch and comment on
the posted video or compare and contrast your own practices with those used by your peers. In
this open-ended discussion, designed to generate a free flow of ideas, no APA citations are
required.
