How to Progress Monitor Students During Math Intervention
One of the biggest challenges in math intervention is knowing whether students are actually making progress. It's easy to assume that students are learning because they seem engaged during lessons. However, effective intervention requires more than observations alone. Progress monitoring helps us determine whether students are responding to instruction and allows us to make informed decisions about next steps. The good news is that progress monitoring doesn't need to be complicated or time-consuming. What Is Progress Monitoring? Progress monitoring is the process of regularly collecting information about student performance to determine whether students are making adequate growth toward a learning goal. Think of it as a GPS for intervention. Without progress monitoring, it's difficult to know: If students are improving Which skills still need support When students are ready to exit intervention Whether instructional changes are needed The goal is not to create more p...
