Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) Resources

An FBA should be considered when basic classroom interventions are ineffective and when the behavior:

could cause injury to the student or others
is intense and occures frequently
places the students at risk for referral to special education or a more restrictive placement

Phonemic Awareness/ Alphabetic Principal

Progress monitoring is a core practice within MTSS, allowing educators to evaluate whether an intervention is effective, make data-based instructional decisions, and adjust supports in a timely manner.

“Progress Monitoring is used to assess students' academic performance, to quantify a student’s rate of improvement or responsiveness to instruction, and to evaluate the effectiveness of instruction.”

— MTSS Manual, School District of Marshfield

For Tier 2 students, progress monitoring should be conducted weekly or bi-weekly using valid, skill-specific tools.

District-Approved Tools

The School District of Marshfield uses the following:

K–6: AIMSweb Plus (Reading and Math)
7–12: STAR or AIMSweb Plus (based on team discretion and focus)

These tools are selected for their:

Sensitivity to small changes
Skill alignment
Norm-referenced benchmarking

Choosing the Right Tool by Focus

Area of Focus ⟶ Progress Monitoring Tools

Reading Fluency ⟶ RCBM, DORF, AIMSweb, Oral Reading Probes

Reading Comprehension ⟶ MAZE Probes, Retell Rubrics, Comprehension Checks

Math Fluency ⟶ AIMSweb Math Computation, PRESS Scripts, Timed Practice

Behavior ⟶ Daily Point Sheets, PIC-NIC Logs, ABC Observation Forms, CICO

Implementation Notes

Use these tools to:

Monitor skill-specific growth
Guide team decisions
Document student response to intervention
Determine continuation, intensification, or exit

“It is best practice to use norm-referenced progress monitoring tools… Progress monitoring tools are brief, direct measures of specific academic skills and are sensitive to small changes in student performance.”
