1 Monitoring Student Progress on IEP Goals Region 1 & 2 Related Services Meeting Kinston, NC AUGUST 1, 2014 SUPPORTING TEACHING AND RELATED SERVICES SECTION Trajectory for Student Success Measureable Annual Goal Sensitive Progress Monitoring Effective SDI Data-rich PLAAFP This is data-driven individualization Baseline Data The PLAAFP (PRESENT LEVEL OF ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND FUCNTIONAL PERFORMANCE) Current/relevant information about student performance in one domain Objective Measurable Understandable Related to participation and progress in general education 1

2 Read Nancy s PLAAFP: Behavior & Social Skills Typical IEP Measurement Mastery of series of short-term-objectives that: Don t have equivalent units Have different measurement requirements Lack reliability and validity Don t indicate/acknowledge KSA maintenance Measurement feels unmanageable and/or pointless People stop measuring Measurable Goals Derive from PLAAFP data Include givens and conditions Describe anticipated observable learner performance at the end of the IEP and over time Contain criteria for mastery Time - In 18 weeks, Condition given 30 vocabulary words from the 7 th grade science curriculum Learner - Lynn Action will compose on her ipad Criterion at least 18 correct sentences using at least 18 vocab words within 10 minutes. 2

3 In Search of Measurability Use specific action verbs Sally will raise her hand to gain attention. Be specific about a time frame or location/context during group instruction Decide what determines success for the goal in 4 of 5 attempts to gain attention; with visual cues; 75% of the time Nancy s Behavior Goals In 36 weeks, given a structured small group learning activity, Nancy will engage in the activity with minimal verbal cues for at least 10 minutes without aggressive/disruptive behaviors on four consecutive data collection dates. In 36 weeks, given a routine classroom task within her ability level (lining up to go outside, washing hands before snack, etc.), Nancy will initiate and complete the task with <3 prompts to start/persist and no tantrums on four consecutive data collection dates. Progress Monitoring Tools 3

4 How Progress Will be Measured Describe how progress toward the annual goal will be measured: What performance data will be collected? In what form? With what tools/methods? How often? How much? Where? By whom? Intentional Data Collection Tools Permanent Products Event Recording Interval Recording Time Sampling Duration Latency Direct Assessment Tools Event Recording Behavior Counting Name Nancy Week of July 28, 2014 Behavior to be counted _Negative comments to peers Mon.

5 Direct Assessment Duration Recording Record the elapsed time, usually in minutes, from onset to conclusion of target behavior. Be sure to indicate the date, and the activity in which the student was engaged when the target behavior began to escalate. Student Name: Nancy Week of / Day : Aug 4, 2014 Target Behavior: Tantrums (cries/rants, slams doors/materials, throws items) Behavior Incident Briefly describe, making sure to note date, time, and any circumstances you think noteworthy. Transition Large Group Small Group Individual Work Read Aloud Read Silently In Crowds Library Specials Specific Subject #1 9:45-10:15, Mon, Aug 4 Group was doing read aloud #2 12:35-1:15, Tue, Aug 5 In hallway after lunch #3 1:28-2:05, Fri, Aug 8 Playing on playground 5

6 PM Tools for Nancy s Behavior Stopwatch/clock for duration and interval observation Verbal/physical aggression event count forms Student-monitored behavior interval chart Tantrum duration data sheets Time-out event records Daily sleep duration record TIME SPENT DEVELOPING IEPs PLAAFP GOALS GOALS PM PLAN Progress Monitoring Plans 1. Identify and operationally define academic, behavioral, or functional KSA to be measured 2. Determine who, where, and how often data will be collected 3. Conduct intervention and collect multiple data points across time/settings/occasions under standardized procedures 4. Score and summarize data graphically 5. Evaluate SDI effectiveness 6

7 NANCY S PM PLAN - 1 Identify and operationally define the behavioral or functional knowledge, action/skill, or ability that will be measured : ROUTINE TASK PERSISTENCE continues and completes a classroom routine in a timeframe and with level of assistance commensurate with peers PARTICIPATION IN SMALL GROUP LEARNING stays in physical proximity of adult-led learning activity, orients self/attention to activity, follows directions given to group, makes on-topic verbal and/or physical contributions to activity TANTRUMS intense, inconsolable/non-redirect-able verbal and/or physical outbursts lasting more than 1 minute that inhibit engagement in classroom activity DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR patterns of actions that impede the ability of instructors to teach and students to learn (e.g., interrupting, creating excessive noise, fidgeting, sleeping, untimely leaving/entering instructional activity) SLEEP PATTERN number of consecutive hours student slept previous night NANCY S PM PLAN - 11 Describe how often, what time of day, and where student progress will be assessed: ROUTINE TASK PERSISTENCE - Recorded 2x/week, once from arrival to 11am and once from 11am to dismissal, data collection days will vary to ensure broad view of occurrence PARTICIPATION IN SMALL GROUP LEARNING Recorded during 3 small group learning sessions per week TANTRUMS Recorded when/where ever they occur at school, within 30 minutes of tantrum cessation DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR - Recorded 2x/week, once from arrival to 11am and once from 11am to dismissal, data collection days will vary to ensure broad view of performance SLEEP PATTERN daily record sent from home NANCY S PM PLAN Identify team members responsible for: Data collection teacher, TA, SLP, OT, parents, Nancy Data collection fidelity checks teacher, principal, and behavior support specialist Interpreting data to determine progress teacher, SLP, OT, and behavior support specialist Writing progress report to parents - teacher, SLP, and OT 7

8 ACTIVITY 1 1. Select one student from among the three options. 2. Find 3-5 other people interested in same student. 3. Work together to develop a progress monitoring plan for the student. How Progress Will Be Displayed & Interpreted Comparing expected and actual rates of progress Graphic displays: Provide clear visual representation of progress over time Increase productive communication at IEP meetings Enable students to keep track of their own progress Result in motivating students to work more diligently toward their goals 8

9 Graphing Performance Data Goal (10 min.) Baseline (2 min.) = Amount of change required (8 min.) Amount of change required (8 min.) Weeks to work on goal (36 weeks or 4 reporting periods) = Amount of change needed per week (GOAL LINE SLOPE) (.25 min./week or 2 min./reporting period) To meet goal #1, Nancy will need to engage in small group instruction an additional 2 minutes per reporting period. 25 NANCY S SMALL GROUP ENGAGEMENT DATA MULTIPLE GOALS DISPLAYED Rating scale score Class on Time Completed Work Positive Participation 27 9

10 ACTIVITY Calculate the goal line for one of the student s goals. 2. Create some fake data from the PM plan you designed. 3. Plot the data on the graph. Responding to Progress Monitoring Data Is SDI facilitating learning at a rate necessary for goal acquisition? If YES IEP team rocks keep it up!!! If NO ask why: Is the student reliably participating in SDI? Has the student had a change in status, such that baseline performance has changed? Is the SDI being delivered with fidelity? Do frequency, duration, and/or intensity of SDI need to increase? Are accommodations or modifications needed? Do you need to stop doing lame SDI and try l1 something else? l2 Structured Questioning Data and assessment Dosage and fidelity Content and intensity Data Rich, Information Poor webinar 10

11 Slide 29 l1 does instruction match what the student needs? lloeser, 7/18/2014 Slide 30 l2 lloeser, 7/18/2014

12 Is the data helping? Data and assessment Dosage and fidelity Content and intensity Am I collecting data often enough? Is the progress monitoring tool sensitive to change? Does the measure align to the content of the intervention? Am I collecting data at the right level? Is the SDI being delivered appropriately? Data and assessment Dosage and fidelity Content and intensity Did the student receive the right dosage of the intervention? Did the student receive all components of the intervention, as planned? Did other factors prevent the student from receiving the intervention as planned? (Example: absences, behavior issues, scheduling challenges, group size, staff training) Is the SDI working? Data and assessment Dosage and fidelity Content and intensity Is the intervention an appropriate match given the student s skill deficits or target behavior? Is the intensity of the intervention appropriate, given the student s level of need, or are adaptations or intensifications needed? Are academic and behavioral issues interrelated? I 11

13 Data and assessment Dosage and fidelity Content and intensity Select progress monitoring measure that aligns with intervention. Ensure progress monitoring tool is sensitive to change. Ensure the behavior measurement reflects the behavior you need to change. Address barriers to adequate dosage and fidelity. Target specific student need or function of behavior and determine more appropriate match. Add motivational or behavioral component. Add academic supports. Modify schedules of reinforcement. Guide for Altering SDI 4 consecutive points above line: Raise the goal! 4 consecutive points below line: Change SDI Points above and below the line: Keep as is. Altering SDI Modifications maybe made in: Instructional procedures and/or skills Instructional arrangements (teacherstudent ratios; peer mediation) Instructional materials Time allocations Motivational strategies 12

14 Nancy s Small Group Engagement Data ACTIVITY Based on the student s performance, discuss how the IEP team should respond. 2. Document what changes, if any will be made in specially designed instruction. Progress Reporting Reports on the child s progress toward meeting each annual goal will be provided concurrent with the issuance of report cards, or more often as determined by the IEP Team. [NC (3)(i)(ii)] Uses parent-friendly language Explains extent to which progress is sufficient to achieve goals Includes goal written on progress report Identifies contributors, especially when progress varies by discipline focus/emphasis 13

15 Not All Progress Reports Are Equal WEAK Variable progress Good attendance Thanks for sending in snacks! Lynne Loeser, EC Teacher EXCELLENT GOAL: In 36 weeks, given a routine classroom task within her ability level (lining up to go outside, washing hands before snack, etc.), Nancy will initiate and complete the task with <3 prompts to start/persist and no tantrums on four consecutive data collection dates. Week 3 8 tantrums ; required average of 5 prompts to start/complete tasks Week 6-7 tantrums; required average of 3 prompts to start/complete tasks Week 9-4 tantrums; required average of 3 prompts to start/complete tasks Nancy is learning alternatives to having tantrums (requesting breaks; referring to star chart) and is on course to meet this goal by end of IEP. Lauren Holahan, Occupational Therapist ACTIVITY 1V 1. Based on the student s performance, write a 9-week progress report for the parents. 2. Be prepared to share your work/experience on these activities with the whole group. REFLECTIONS ON LEARNING/ REVISIT OBJECTIVES Q & A COURSE EVALUATION 14
