GOM/CBM Intro 1 & 2 Flashcards
What is GOM?
Generalized Outcome Measurements
What is CBM?
Curriculum-Based Measurements
A generic way of measuring student progress through a simple set of procedures for repeated measurement of student growth.
Generalized Outcome Measurements
Which measurement provides information on how the
student’s behavior changes on a task of consistent difficulty.
Generalized Outcome Measurements
Which measurements Identify terminal desired behavior
and then test various interventions
to reach the goal.
Generalized Outcome Measurements (GOM) and Curriculum Based Measurement (CBM)
What is the purpose of GOM//CBM?
To provide a picture of growth over time
What are the 7 characteristics of a useful measurement system?
- Reliable: consistent
- Valid: measures what it purports to measure
(e. g. Generalized outcome of reading) - Inexpensive
- Time Efficient
- Little training
- Multiple Forms for Repeated Administration
- Easy to Understand
How was CBM developed?
From classroom experience
Why was CBM developed (4 major reasons)?
- To determine effectiveness of SPED interventions
- To be more systematic about IEP goals and their measurement
- To guide instructional decision making
- To track growth over time–a
progress record for parents and students
What should I use to monitor student progress in READING (3 components)?
- Number of words read correctly in one minute
- Cloze Procedure
- Maze Procedure
What should I use to monitor student progress in SPELLING (2 components)?
- Number of correct letter sequences in two minutes
2. Number of words spelled correctly in two minutes
What should I use to monitor student progress in WRITTEN EXPRESSION (3 components)?
- Number of words written in two minutes
- Number of correctly spelled words in two minutes
- Number of correct spelled word sequences in two minutes
What should I use to monitor student progress in MATH (3 components)?
- Number of correct digits in one minute
2. Number of correct answers in one minute
T or F; when selecting monitoring materials, select probes from the entire domain. That is, do not measure the isolated skill, but measure the generalized task (i.e. do not measure the exact skill that you teach).
True, when selecting monitoring materials, select probes from the entire domain.
T or F, Be consistent in material you use for monitoring
and in your monitoring procedures.
True, Be consistent in material you use for monitoring
and in your monitoring procedures.
T or F, In spelling one could use a spelling basal and randomly draw words from the glossary. The glossary represents the domain for a particular year in the curriculum.
True; In spelling one could use a spelling basal and randomly draw words from the glossary. The glossary represents the domain for a particular year in the curriculum.
In regards to spelling scoring procedures, what is CLS?
Correct Letter Sequence
GOM/CBM procedures for drawing a goal line, step 1
- Establish a baseline; a minimum of three measurements is
necessary. All three measures can be taken on the same day.
GOM/CBM procedures for drawing a goal line,
- Select the median baseline score (the middle score from bottom to
top). To determine the median score, order from lowest to
highest (i.e. 17, 21, 23) and select the middle one. In this example,
21 is the median (middle score). If more than three scores have
been recorded, use the last three to determine the median.
GOM/CBM procedures for drawing a goal line,
- Draw a line immediately after the last point and place an “X” at
the point representing the median score.
GOM/CBM procedures for drawing a goal line,
- Place an “X” at the point representing the long - range goal on the
calendar date specified for achievement of the long - range goal.
GOM/CBM procedures for drawing a goal line, step 2
- Select the median baseline score (the middle score from bottom to top). To determine the median score, order from lowest to highest (i.e. 17, 21, 23) and select the middle one.
GOM/CBM procedures for drawing a goal line,
- Place an “X” at the point representing the long - range goal on the calendar date specified for achievement of the long - range goal.
GOM/CBM procedures for drawing a goal line,
- Draw the goal line by connecting the two “Xs”. The points along the line represent the short-term objective.
GOM/CBM data utilization rules: If there are four data points above
the goal line….
change the goal
GOM/CBM data utilization rules: If there are three data points below
the goal line…
change the intervention
What are the 5 steps to problem solving (Deno and Fuchs)?
- Identify the problem to be solved
- Identify the alternative solutions
- Implement and test those alternatives
- Revise unsuccessful solutions
- Terminate the problem solving process
Terminating the problem solving process means…..
The student’s rate of grow will be at or above peer’s rate of growth and student can mainstream again.
Does counting the number of words read aloud in one minute measure comprehension?
No, but there is a positive correlation.
Which two procedures can be described as a reading comprehension activity in which words are omitted from a passage and students are required to fill in the blanks.
What are cloze and maze procedures?
