Six-Step Instructional Routine for Engaging Students in Progress Monitoring

Research has shown that actively involving students in progress monitoring through performance feedback and goal setting can lead to improved academic outcomes, motivation, and self-efficacy, yet many students who are at risk for academic failure and students with disabilities who have their progress monitored on a weekly or biweekly basis remain unaware of their progress. This six-step instructional routine offers a quick reference guide that enhances typical progress monitoring procedures by engaging students in progress monitoring. The instructional routine includes a review of necessary materials and sample scripts that teachers can use following each progress monitoring session. The companion note-taking log & fidelity checklist provides a place to take notes and monitor the implementation of the six-step protocol.
