Report
Stephen Murphy Progress Monitoring Project Use this outline for the Progress monitoring Project. Please leave the headings, descriptions, and guiding questions, I will need this as a reference when I review the information that you add. Each time you upload the document for my review and feedback, be sure to include the entire document. I’ll need the already completed information as a reference when I assess the newly added parts and information. 1. Narrative Report Learner descriptions are specific, observable, and professionally written. Report provides reader with insight and useful descriptions based on quantitative and qualitative analysis of learner abilities, attitudes, interests & values. Student demographic and background performance information Provide a Name that isn’t the student’s, as well as age and grade Does the student have an individualized education program or 504 plan? If so, what type of program is being used? (inclusion, pull-out, in class with small group instruction, etc.) Is the student an English language learner? If so, what information is available concerning ACCESS scores? Has the referring teacher communicated with the classroom teacher or previous teachers to get information about the student’s performance? What is the level and type of involvement with the parent/guardian? Summary of current performance in relevant content areas Describe the present level of performance in the relevant content area (e.g., reading, mathematics, behavior/social skills). Describe strengths in the relevant content area. Describe and prioritize concerns in the relevant content area.
Describe the student’s attitude toward school, school work, peers, teachers, learning, and about life in general. JJ's is a 15 year old, sophomore, with an IEP student at Braintree High School. Prior to attending Braintree High School, JJ attended the Developmental program at Morrison Elementary school. JJ currently receives ELA, Math, and Resource instruction from a special educator within the ILC small group setting with 1:1 support from his para educator. JJ integrated into 8th grade Social Studies, Science, Art, and Music mainstream classes with direct 1:1 support from his para educator. JJ also attends Adaptive PE. At this time due JJ receives direct (2 x 30) minutes services for OT and PT each cycle as well as speech and language services (2x 45 minutes) each 6 day cycle.p. JJ’s mother is incredibly proud of her son JJ, and has seen growth in his increased sense of responsibility for completing his work, homework assignments and most importantly his self esteem. This past year, she has seen that he has shown greater confidence in self advocating for his needs, wants and worries. She would like to see him become more responsible with his own self care and responsibilities of managing his daily life (waking up in the morning, making his own meals, chores, managing his own time, and belongings). He is taking responsibility for managing his school materials at night and making it charged. She would like to see him decrease reliance on her reminders for self care (deodorant, proper clothing, brushing his teeth). He has started to show interest in helping out around the house (mopping, taking out the trash, and sorting the laundry). JJ's mother would like to see him start initiating these along with other tasks more independently. JJ’s mother is concerned with his health and would like to see him pick better choices to eat for breakfast and lunch while at school. JJ's mother would like to see him work on understanding multi step directions. JJ can struggle when provided multiple directions at once, and JJ’s mother would like to see him be able to complete the tasks given more independently. He is helpful at home but can become easily confused or forget a step when he is given more than one direction at a time. This is something we are able to work with him on at school. JJ is an extremely hard worker and his mother would like to see him hold a part time or full time job by the time he graduates. JJ works well with others and is often a great role model for others. While working in the Bistro cafe at Braintree High School, JJ is able to complete sandwiches, coffee orders, and deliveries with minimal assistance. JJ’s mom would like to see JJ continue to be happy and a good peer model. JJ wants to become a car salesman upon graduating high school. 2. Designs Assessment Plan
Plans target specific assessment options that are related to the identification of individuals with exceptional learning needs . Parental/student input is skillfully integrated into plan and the timeline allows for implementation of age and ability appropriate instruction for individuals with exceptional learning needs . Relevant Background Information: What are the student’s current grades? If applicable, what were the student’s scores on standardized state assessments? What behavior data exist for this student (e.g., office disciplinary referrals, daily report cards from current year, historical data)? What is the student’s attendance record? What screening data do you have for the student? If available, include both the student score and the norm or benchmark for each assessment. What diagnostic assessments do you have in the area of concern? What work samples do you have in the area of concern? What formative assessments do you have in the area of concern? How is the student’s progress being monitored? Are data graphed? Is there any input from the student’s parents/guardians? JJ has a B- in ELA, a D in Math, and Resource instruction JJ has a C in Social Studies, C+ in Science and a C in Art, and Music. There are office disciplinary referrals, daily report cards from current year and past years as well as historical data available on JJ’s file. Additionally, we can access JJ’s attendance which is found below. I have received work samples on JJ’s past work in Math from his freshman year as well as the current year. We have worked on fractions, mean, median, mode, and the pythagorean theorem in the current school year. The students progress is being monitored by work

samples, quizzes, and general outcome measurement. Hypotheses: Based on this information, what academic skill will you be addressing for this project and why? We are working on money skills with JJ. We want to address his ability to count money so he can work at a register in a workplace. This is an important skill for JJ to learn as the type of jobs JJ wants to be working often include a register or involve money in some fashion. We will work on IDing coins and money as our focused skill. This is the most important being able to identify the correct change quickly and correctly to have smooth transactions while working on the register. Methodology: What Curriculum Based Measurement (CBM) will you use, and how does it address the student’s abilities in the targeted skill? The type of math probe we are going to focus on is multiple-skill. Being able to correctly identify coins and money to appropriately provide change to customers is vital at the jobs JJ is working. These assessments are experiential, as we will be completing them
while he works in the Bistro during the school day. We want JJ to be able to complete a transaction on a register within 2 minutes. How will you establish a baseline score? We will have JJ complete multiple transactions without any assistance. We will not guide JJ, or inform him if he is right or wrong. By completing these transactions we can see what parts are strengths and weaknesses with JJ. How will you determine the growth rate? We can determine growth rate by making transactions longer each time JJ has to work the register. JJ will begin by ensuring he can complete a transaction with one item. We then work our way up with more items to determine the max amount of items JJ can ring in at a time with no problems. We also want to focus on the speed of the transaction. We want JJ to be able to provide customers with the correct change 90% of the time. How long will you be measuring CBM, and why? We are going to measure JJ’s performance over a month. Since JJ will complete Bistro shifts at least one period a day, we will have lots of data and experience to look at JJ’s performance. What will be the final goal? The final goal will be to make JJ comfortable with addition and subtraction with money to complete a transaction with at least 3 items. Be sure to include a graph or chart neatly drawn on graph paper and photo-copied and pasted into this space.
3. Learning Standards Identified Based on General Education Curriculum Based Measurement (CBM) identifies the scope and sequences of general and special curricula that target learner capacities and individual competencies. What academic skills will be addressed in this project? Mental Math Use the current Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks to list 3 or 4 specific standards that will be used to address specific academic skills for this student in this project, e.g, for literacy, find standards for phonics, phonemic awareness, word recognition, fluency, and/or comprehension that are appropriate based on your knowledge of the students’ abilities and strengths. 1. 7.NS.3 Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers - The skill of being able to solve real-world mathematical problems involving four operations will help JJ be able to complete addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problems. While being at the register, we will need to be able to add our items totals together, subtract the amount that a customer may pay for the item and give the correct change.

2. 7.NS.2 Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers. - This is an extension of the first framework, and it is appropriate for him to learn so he can master all operations. He will work with both rational numbers and irrational numbers while on the job (e.i. Providing $2.00 back versus $2.35). 3. 7.RP.3 Use proportional relationships to solve multi-step ratio and percent problems. Examples: simple interest, tax, markups and markdowns, gratuities and commissions, fees, percent increase and decrease, percent error. - Being able to calculate interest, tax, markups and markdowns are vital for JJ to learn. If he is going to be able to hold a job, he will need to understand most of these terms as they will be relevant at the job site. If there is a discount on an item, JJ will need to know how to apply that to our original total and calculate the change. Being able to tip appropriately when going out to dinner, or knowing that you must tip at all is important for JJ to learn. As JJ will encounter fees and increases in insurance, bank fees, fees for streaming services, we want to ensure he can recognize what is being presented. Explain why these skill areas and the standards are appropriate for this student. 4. Designs Curriculum Based Assessment CBM targets embedded curricula skills within content areas that reflect evidence based practices validated for specific characteristics of learners and settings. Based on the information from the Narrative Report, and the resources from the readings in your course, why is the CBM you will use the most appropriate measure of your student’s academic skill? You may have already stated this above, but you can repeat it here. - Being able to calculate interest, tax, markups and markdowns are vital for JJ to learn.

While being at the register, we will need to be able to add our items totals together, subtract the amount that
a customer may pay for the item and give the correct change. Being able to ID the correct coins and change is a key component when completing a register transaction. We want to ensure JJ can complete this smoothly and efficiently while at the job site. 5. Implements Learner Objectives Individualized learning objectives are multi-tiered, sequenced, implemented, and evaluated. Data form is descriptive, easily completed and easily tabulated. List and describe the skills that will be addressed in this project. Stop! Evidence Based Lesson Plans will be added later, as you continue to learn about them in this course. Lesson Plans: Only include lesson plans in this project that address the skills that you previously listed above in Part 5. Be sure to complete the “Reflection” section for these lesson plans, since you will be teaching them. Lesson plan for Mathematics Grade: Ninth Grade Linkage to Curriculum Frameworks Subject: Mathematics Strand: Algrebra Standard: 7.RP.3 Use proportional relationships to solve multi-step ratio and percent problems. Examples: simple interest, tax, markups and markdowns, gratuities and commissions, fees, percent increase and decrease, percent error. JJ is a ninth grade student and is in a special education classroom. He benefits from the use of visuals to break down concepts and shared support from a paraprofessional. JJ enjoys working with money and working on the cash register. He can identify some coin values but not all.
The Plan Identifying Coins and Money Adaptations for Individual Students per IEP/504/or other Goal: Given a coin value Card Sort Strips the students will identify coin values up to ten million with 80% accuracy. JJ will be able to identify and indicate coin values. He will be able to write coin values as well as verbally identify coin values Measurable Objective(s) for lesson: Given multi-step problems, JJ will be able to successfully set up, follow necessary steps, and check his answers for correctness and completeness and fade teacher cues. Given a modified coin value card organizer, JJ will be able to clearly state the correct coin value indicated. With support, JJ will be able to identify multiple coin values. Activity: Students will pick a coin value and will create a paper exam, a slideshow, or a song about the coin value they chose. When JJ chooses a format for his coin value work, he will be provided with a study guide, slideshow or assistive song/rap. If he chooses the slideshow, the slides will be set up and labeled for him. Materials This math lesson involves a coin value slideshow, coin value card sort strips, cut and laminated (one set per group), a video, an assessment, and two coin value puzzle worksheets. Three Options: Letter directions, slideshow directions, and picture directions Enough Chromebooks for all students that choose to use one coin value Card Sort Strips, enough for all students to use Writing utensils Introduction to lesson -- Students will turn and talk to a peer about their knowledge of coin values. After a minute, the class will share their conversations. They will discuss how their conversations would have been different if they had known what coin value we were focusing on. Then, the teacher will display a coin value chart on the board and the class will set up an example of a coin value together. A paraprofessional will join in JJ’s turn and talk with a peer, asking guided questions for support. Lesson activities and procedures After the mini-lesson and practice as a whole group, students will be choosing one of the following to complete about coin value. Students can choose to: a) write a song/rap about your coin value. Use examples of your coin value in your song. A paraprofessional will work with JJ for support. JJ will be reminded of the coin values and where they are located. a) coin value card strips will be provided. b) Slides will be set up for JJ and will be formatted as a template that

b) Explain your coin value and how it differs from other coin values with Google Slides. c) Take a paper exam showing their knowledge of coin values and where they are located. Whichever format the students choose, they will be provided with a template modeled after their choice. Students will have the option to collaborate with peers or complete individually. In the following lesson, students will have the opportunity to meet in small groups or with the teacher. resembles the coin value card strip. The coin value they are focused on will be highlighted in each slide. c) A template of verses will be organized for JJ to use. A sample verse will be provided to JJ. Examples of sentences or rhymes that JJ could use will be provided. Closure/Conclusion Students will have multiple opportunities for the way they share their project. If they chose to write a song, they may sing it to a group of friends, perform it in front of the classroom, or submit it for the teacher to read independently. If they choose the slideshow they will have the choice to share it with the class on the board, share it with the class through Google so that peers can view it on their own time, or share it with only the teacher. If they chose to take the paper exam, the teacher will grade the exam and provide the student with a corrected version JJ’s final product will be shorter than some others. Adaptations for Individual Students per IEP/504/or other Assessment options: Students will be evaluated based on our coin value rubric. Students will have access to this rubric and will be aware of the expectations. The rubric will focus on clearly stating the coin value, providing three examples of the coin value, and providing two examples of real world examples of that coin value. JJ will be evaluated on his ability to clearly identify a coin value in a number and provide at least one real world example of that coin value. Generalization: This lesson is the four coin value lectures. The students work on identifying the coin values they are assigned on the first day. The second day they will work on identifying real world examples of their coin value. The third day they will meet with peers to discuss their findings. The fourth lecture will be In the following lesson, JJ will join a small group for teacher-led instruction. Although his requirements vary from his general ed peers, he will be learning the same skills. He will participate meaningfully and appropriately in the learning. In the final lesson, JJ’s focus
finding coin values within decimals. For the remainder of the year, the coin value skill will be revisited with each new lesson we learn. will be on identifying coin values in decimals. Reflection: In some cases, partnering students who have a better understanding of coin values with students who may struggle could be beneficial. Being able to learn from a friend or another student can help. JJ will benefit from multiple days of practicing identifying coin values. He would benefit from teacher-led instruction and repetition/clarification of directions. These lessons will be a starting point for JJ’s progress toward grade level mathematics. 6. Graphs Learner Progress Chart is well described, clearly illustrated and there is clear evidence of learner progress. The presentation format lends itself to identifying levels of support needed by the individual and draws other meaningful academic conclusions about the learner. After 6 or 7 weeks, insert the graph with the additional weekly CBM scores here. Describe what the data represents regarding the student’s performance.
After roughly six weeks of instruction, I decided to allow JJ to begin to complete transactions on his own around week 4. Since the student had achieved the goal in week 3, I decided it would be beneficial to remove myself from the register to allow JJ to complete transactions freely. I was still in the room when JJ was completing the transactions, however, I was not directly working with him. I worked more as a coworker would and completed other jobs while JJ rang out customers. The data represented that over time, JJ was able to lower his mistakes made during a transaction. It was interesting to see how JJ would do without any supervision, however, there were very few times where JJ needed some extra assistance. 7. Learner Progress Informs Instructional Plans Instructional plans are consistently altered to address learner progress patterns. Generalization of skills is enhanced and probes are adjusted as needed. Continue to instruct the student using an evidence-based practice or program (and remember, be careful with fidelity).

Give students frequent CBM quizzes and graph their data. Having students graph their own data is a great way to improve motivation, self-determination, and goal-setting skills. Use the data to determine whether or not to adjust your instruction. 8. Integrates Appropriate Use of Te c hnology & Augmentative Devices Planning demonstrates appropriate technology adaptation and/or augmentative devices that are matched to learner needs. The register that JJ works with is not a computer screen based register, it is an older model. It would be interesting to see how JJ could work with an updated register rather than the one we have at school to see if it was easier for him to complete transactions. I did show JJ a few online videos of how people act while working on the register, however, there was no other technology used. What technology are you providing the student to augment learning? 9. Results and Reflection What are the results of your progress monitoring of your instruction? Insert a chart or graph of the data collected concerning the student’s progress. Describe new knowledge you have gained about the effectiveness of your instruction. Describe how this knowledge will inform your future instruction of this student. Refer to the progress monitoring data and discuss how it assisted you in goal planning and instruction for this student. How would you evaluate the success of this instruction in terms of the results of using the progress monitoring tool and this student's engagement? Discuss any successes, problems, and missed opportunities. Based on your analysis of the instruction and progress monitoring, what changes would you make?
Describe any ways that you might conduct this instruction and/or progress monitoring differently if you were to do it again. As you reflect on what has transpired, how would you refine your subsequent instruction and why?
