Getting Started with Progress Monitoring

Prior to diving into Progress Monitoring, take our free, self-paced, online Smartguide course, Effective and Efficient Progress Monitoring.

Classworks online Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) probes help you identify what is or isn't working with a student's Response to Intervention (RtI) plan and make informed, instructional decisions. Our automated monitoring lets you focus on teaching while still keeping on top of how each student is progressing. The immediate and automatic scoring and reporting allow you to adapt and adjust a student's plan quickly, based on reliable data.

Gain a clear picture of progress and skill retention through their rate of improvement. Assess weekly or select your own testing interval.
