What information should I include when I add a Phase Change in Progress Monitoring?

Include enough detail to ensure the information is clear and meaningful for fellow educators, the student’s family, and other stakeholders. Well-documented phase changes help create a shared understanding of how instructional decisions are supporting the student’s progress over time.

When adding a Phase Change in Classworks Progress Monitoring, be sure to include the following information:

Date of the change

Record the date the instructional or intervention adjustment was implemented so it can be clearly aligned with student performance data.

Description of the adjustment

Provide a brief narrative explaining what was changed, such as a new intervention, increased intensity, or a shift in instructional strategy.

Change in Dosage of Intervention

Length of instructional sessions: Increasing the length of individual intervention sessions from 30 minutes to 45 minutes per session

Duration of the intervention: Increasing the number of weeks the intervention lasts from 10 to 20

Change in Frequency of Intervention

Frequency of interventions: Increasing the number of weekly intervention sessions from two to four

Change in Learning Environment

Reducing group size: Decreasing the number of students from six to four or fewer

Grouping students with similar abilities: Use homogenous grouping rather than grouping students of varying abilities (heterogeneous grouping)

Reducing classroom distractions: Promote engagement by reducing noise and other environmental distractions

Change in Instructional Delivery

Instructional approach

Systematic and Explicit Instruction
Precise, simple, and replicable language

Student response

Provide frequent opportunities for students to respond
Opportunities to practice, build fluency, and review

Teacher feedback and error correction

Explain why the answer was incorrect
Model the correct response
Ask the student to provide a correct response before moving on
Ask the student to explain his or her process for arriving at the correct answer (i.e., self-talk)
Recheck for correct answers later in the lesson

The narrative explains the adjustments and the reasoning behind them. It shares key information useful to fellow educators, the student's family, and other interested parties.
