When should I add a Phase Change to Progress Monitoring?
You should add a Phase Change to Progress Monitoring in Classworks anytime there is a meaningful change to the student’s instruction or intervention that could impact performance. Phase Changes help document why student data may look different over time and provide important context when reviewing growth trends.
Sample Scenarios
Student Performance
Stagnant Performance: The student's performance has remained stable, but not at the goal level.
Declining Performance: The student's performance has consistently declined.
Instructional Delivery or Schedule Changes
Changes to the intervention or instructional approach NOT based on the student’s performance
Delivery
- Level of support or intensity
- Method of delivering intervention instruction
Schedule
- Increased time or frequency
- Instructional environment (small group size)
- Materials used by the student
