The ABCs of CBM: A Practical Guide To Curriculum-Based Measurement

Curriculum-based measurement (CBM) has been adopted by growing numbers of school districts and states since the publication of this definitive practitioner guide and course text.

The second edition presents step-by-step guidelines for using CBM in screening, progress monitoring, and data-based instructional decision making in PreK-12. It describes the materials needed and all aspects of implementation in reading, spelling, writing, math, and secondary content areas.

• Twenty sets of reproducible CBM administration and scoring guides and other tools are provided
• the large-size format and lay-flat binding facilitate photocopying.
• Purchasers get access to a Web page where they can download and print the reproducible materials.

New to This Edition:

• Broader grade range - now has a chapter on secondary content areas.
• Chapter on early numeracy; expanded content on early reading.
• Nearly twice as many reproducible tools, including new or revised administration and scoring guides.
• Key updates on graphing and on using online CBM databases.

This title is part of The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series, edited by T. Chris Riley-Tillman.

"'The authors have expanded their practical guide to CBM to include measures of multiple academic domains, including early literacy and numeracy, as well as the content areas. The book shows how CBM is an essential resource for implementing multi-tiered services and illustrates how to graph, interpret, and use CBM data to make important educational decisions. I am impressed by the expanded content, including more measures and a fuller explanation of CBM in the context of a functional assessment model. I am truly excited to make this text a centerpiece of the functional academic assessment course I will be teaching in the spring. Students will find practical, step-by-step administration, scoring, and graphing procedures; current benchmark standards and normative comparisons; and advice about data management systems."
