Progress Monitoring Tools

View the Progress Monitoring Mastery Measures Tools Chart

This tools chart reflects the results of the fourth annual review of progress monitoring tools by the Center's Technical Review Committee (TRC).

The Center defines progress monitoring as repeated measurement of academic performance to inform instruction of individual students in general and special education in grades K-8. It is conducted at least monthly to (a) estimate rates of improvement, (b) identify students who are not demonstrating adequate progress and/or (c) compare the efficacy of different forms of instruction to design more effective, individualized instruction.

 

Chart Features

  • The tools in this chart have been rated against one or both sets of technical adequacy standards related to progress monitoring: General Outcome Measures (GOMs) and Mastery Measures (MMs). The tabs above the chart will bring you to the tools rated under the set matching the tab name.
  • Across the top of the chart are the standards by which the TRC reviews each tool. Click on each standard for a detailed description of how the rating was defined.
  • The vendors of the tools have provided implementation information which includes the cost of the tool, what is needed to implement it, the support you will receive from the vendor, how the tool is intended to be used, and with whom it should be used. To access this information, click on name of the tool in the "Area" column.
  • The ratings in the chart can be clicked on to view the specific data submitted for each standard.
  • Every column of the chart can be sorted by clicking the arrows at the top of the column.
  • The tools in the chart can be filtered by subject and by grade using the filter tool at the top of the chart. To see all tools again, hit "Reset."
  • Tools can be compared by clicking the boxes on the far right of the chart. Pick as many tools as you wish to compare and hit the "Compare" button. To see all tools again, hit "Reset."

The National Center on RTI publishes this chart to assist educators and families in becoming informed consumers who can select progress monitoring tools that best meet their individual needs.

The Center's Technical Review Committee (TRC) on Progress Monitoring independently established a set of criteria for evaluating the technical adequacy of progress monitoring tools. The TRC rated each submitted tool against these criteria but did not compare it to other tools on the chart. The presence of a particular tool on the chart does not constitute endorsement and should not be viewed as a recommendation from either the TRC on Progress Monitoring or the National Center on RTI.

Please note that all submissions to the TRC review process were voluntary.
