Purpose of RIPM
The Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP)
has funded the Research Institute on Progress Monitoring to develop
a system of progress monitoring to evaluate effects of
individualized instruction on access to and progress within the
general education curriculum.
RIPM Objectives
Establish conceptual framework and research plans
for developing a seamless and flexible system of progress monitoring
to be used across ages (K-12), abilities, and curricula.
Identify and validate progress monitoring
strategies in reading, writing, math and science using Curriculum
Based Measurement (CBM).
Establish measures that reflect performance
and predict progress in the general education curriculum.
Develop a process for determining Tables of
Probable Success for passing the state standards tests.
Evaluate the effects of progress monitoring
on student performance and teacher instruction.
Assess the effects of instructional context
(e.g., intensity and consistency of instruction) on student
growth.
