Creating a New Progress Monitoring Form – FastBridge

This article explains how details about academic interventions for individual students and groups can be added to the progress monitoring record using the New Progress Monitoring form.

Progress Monitoring Plans should not extend beyond one year. A new plan should be created each year. If a plan is 365 days long (i.e. Sept-Sept) any scores collected after rollover will not be included on any Data Download.

Progress Monitoring Form

A screenshot of the Set Up Progress Monitoring (Reading) page showing sections for selecting students, progress monitoring setup, timing, goal data, and optional intervention. Fields include student name, assessment type, monitoring user, timing with start and end dates, frequency, screening scores, and intervention details. A Save button is at the bottom right.

Select Add to add students. Go down to the next section for more details.
Use the Progress Monitoring Setup section to determine details for the Progress Monitoring plan. Start by selecting the Monitoring Assessment. Next, select the Monitoring User from the dropdown menu. Select a Starting Form Number. Users might select a different form number if they're adding a new student to the group later in the year, and they want them to be on the same form number as the rest of the students in the group.
Use the Timing section to select the Progress Monitoring Start Date and End Date as well as the Frequency in which the data is collected within the timeframe. Progress Monitoring Plans should not extend beyond one year. A new plan should be created each year.
The Goal information is populated automatically, but can be updated. The Start Score generally defaults to match the Screening Score. If there is no Screening Score, the default Start Score will be zero. The Weekly Gain is how much growth is required each week in order to meet the goal. The Goal may be considered synonymous with the target score necessary to end progress monitoring.
Intervention information can be added optionally. Providing Intervention Details will result in the details appearing on the Progress Monitoring Report. If an intervention is being used, select a strategy, or the name of the intervention, that will be used. Select a Display Name for the strategy or intervention. This name will appear on the Progress Monitoring Report, both on the graph in the form of a phase line. Determine the Start Date and End Date. Choose Frequency and Duration for the intervention being implemented.
Select Save to save the form.

A confirmation message with a green checkmark icon at the top, stating Success and The Progress Monitoring Plan has been successfully created. Below is an Okay button.

A Success message appears after selecting Save. Select OKAY to return to the Progress Monitoring page.
