Curriculum-Based Assessments
The information gathered from CBA should add to an understanding of a child’s stage of development, provide information to make informed instructional decisions, and connect to developmentally appropriate learning goals.
Based on your Internet search, what information will the CBA you researched allow you to gather? What are the strengths and limitations of this type of information?
Progress Monitoring and Instruction
School psychologists perform assessments that compare a child to others of similar age and grade level. CBA focuses on the curriculum in the classroom, and thus compares a child to himself or herselfhow a child is performing this week compared to last week, and whether he or she is making progress based on the interventions you are using.
Discuss how these CBAs can direct and drive instruction.
