What is Pathways of Progress?

Pathways of Progress is a tool for:

(a) setting student progress monitoring goals (BOY)(b) evaluating student progress (MOY & EOY)(c) evaluating system level progress (MOY & EOY)

Pathways of ProgressTM depend on the level of initial skills.Emphasizes the outcome or the end point of the Pathways of ProgressTM. Pathways of ProgressTM provide a normative framework for comparison in setting goals and evaluating individual student progress.

For individual students:(a) setting an ambitious, meaningful, attainable student

learning goal and an aim line for individual progress monitoring, and

(b) evaluating the progress the student is displaying. A normative reference in addition to benchmark goalsClarifies what rate of progress is typical, above typical, or well above typical; also below typical or well-below typical rates of progress

Three Guiding Principles in Establishing Individual Student Learning Goals

•Meaningful. – Goals should support students to achieve meaningful outcomes or

increase the likelihood of achieving meaningful and important outcomes.

• Ambitious.– Above typical or well above typical progress are ambitious goals.– Typical progress may be sufficient for students who are at or

above benchmark– Typical progress may not be adequate for students who are likely

to need additional support to achieve benchmark goals. – Below typical or well below typical progress are just not very

ambitious.•Attainable.

– High in the well above typical range is probably not attainable.– Typical and above typical progress is readily attainable.– Well below typical and below typical progress may be attainable, but

are not ambitious or meaningful.Pathways of ProgressTM 6©2015, Dynamic Measurement Group

Considerations in Establishing Student Learning Goals

DIBELS Next informed considerations: What rate of progress is above typical progress

compared to other students with similar initial skills? What rate of progress is necessary to narrow the

achievement gap with students making adequate progress?

What rate of progress is necessary to achieve important benchmark goals.

What rate of progress is necessary to reduce risk and increase the odds of achieving subsequent goals.

Considerations in Establishing Student Learning Goals

Other considerations: What rate of progress is possible with a very effective,

research based intervention? What resources are available to support instruction and

intervention? What is the student attendance pattern?

Pathways of ProgressTM Based on DIBELS® Composite Score

Students who are at or above benchmark on the DIBELS® Composite Score are reading for meaning at an adequate rate and with a high degree of accuracy. DIBELS® Composite Score is the best single predictor of reading proficiency outcomes.Our goal is overall reading proficiency across the reading components.

Sometime just reading faster is not reading better.

Using the DIBELS Composite Score, we can use Pathways of Progress to establish an end of first grade goal in DORF Words Correct, for example.

Comparing Pathways of Progress Activity: Camilla and Flo

Camilla and Flo are in fourth grade. Both students obtained DORF Words Correct scores of 80. Review Camilla's and Flo’s beginning of year skills and a proposed end of year student goal.1. Identify the primary area of difficulty (i.e., meaning, rate, or

accuracy) that is the barrier to overall reading proficiency for Camilla. (3. Flo)

2. Specify an appropriate end of year goal for Camilla that will entail reading for meaning at an adequate rate with a high degree of accuracy and be meaningful, ambitious, and attainable. (4. Flo)

5. What would be our primary instructional focus for each student?

6. With a partner, explain why the DORF Words Correct pathways and our goal are much steeper for Flo than for Camilla.

Pathways of ProgressTM 41

The Pathways of Progress for Words Correct are much steeper for Flo than Camilla. The pathways are based upon the student’s beginning of year composite score. Camilla is likely to need intensive support, especially in reading for meaning on DORF Retell and Daze Adjusted Score. Flo is likely to need differentiated core support building reading at an adequate rate.

Out of Level Progress Monitoring for Alistair

We recommend Benchmark assessment with grade-level text for Alistair. However, frequent progress monitoring in grade-level text is not recommended for Alistair.

Likely to be discouraging and unpleasant for Alistair and his interventionist.Likely to be insensitive to progress in essential skills that Alistair needs Unlikely to help the interventionist make instructional decisions.

DIBELS Survey will identify appropriate instructional level text, and appropriate out of level progress monitoring material.

Data-Based Decision Making

Follow up appointment Physician asks, “How are things going? Are you feeling

better?” Answers the question: is the intervention working Effect size of 0.90 (Hattie) Informs instruction, using the moving median of 3 Used in conjunction with Pathways of Progress The frequency of progress monitoring should match the

level of concern about the student’s skill development and need for support Recommended frequency:

well below benchmark – 1-2 weeks below benchmark - 2-4 weeks benchmark - 4-6 weeks

Note: Three passages are given for DORF during benchmark testing, but only ONE passage is used for progress monitoring. There are 20 PM forms for each measure. Be sure to use a different form each week.

Changes in Intervention

If the student is not responding, ask questions:

Was intervention implemented with fidelity?Was intervention evidence-based?Does intervention match the student’s academic skill deficit?Does intensity of instruction match student needs?Duration/frequency?Group size?Motivation?Attendance of interventionist/student?Interventionist?

Good Progress Monitoring Decisions

Good progress monitoring decisions are ones that enable educators to improve outcomes for students. 1. Good decisions about progress provide timely

information to inform instruction. 2. Good decisions about progress are reasonably stable

and reliable. 3. Good decisions about progress provide instructionally

relevant information for individual students. 4. Good decisions about progress provide instructionally

relevant information at a systems level to inform classroom instruction.

Presentation Notes
When using Pathways of Progress Reports to evaluate individual student progress within classrooms, the Pathways are evaluated relative to typical progress for students with the same initial skill. We can describe the progress the student has made across the school year in this context. Evaluation of progress can be done at the student level and the classroom level. In the same report in Figure 4, the left-hand column of the report lists the student names. The columns to the right of the student names list the beginning-of-year score, end-of-year score, and the Pathway number for each measure given at that grade level. Scores are coded relative to their benchmark status: When interpreting the Pathways of Progress Report follow these steps: Review the Composite Score Pathway for each student 2. Review the component measure scores for each student. Consider the following when reviewing the Pathways of Progress Report: --Accuracy of scores --Highly Skilled Reader Criteria (on the Next Slide) Interpretation for individual students: Ashley, Brandon & Colette are students who began at/above BM on DCS and made at least Typical Progress over the year ending the year at/above BM on DCS and component measures. This pattern indicates instructional support that met their needs. Dillon also began and ended the year at/above BM on DCS but made Typical progress overall. His EOY DORF WC and Daze scores were not above BM and he made below typical progress in these areas. This pattern is of concern and should be examined further. Erin began the year below BM on DCS, made below typical progress and ended the year below benchmark on the DCS. Her EOY DORF Words Correct, Retell and Daze Adj scores indicate need for instructional support. This pattern suggests that the instructional support was either ineffective for Erin, or other factors prevented her from benefitting from instruction (e.g., high rates of absences). How can we take these data and summarize it for use as PART of the growth component in teacher evaluation?
