Yearly ProgressPro is an award-winning online progress monitoring solution that is based on 25 years of research in Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM), a methodology proven to improve student learning outcomes. CBM is particularly effective with Response to Intervention (RtI) programs, a method of academic intervention that is designed to provide early, effective support to struggling learners.

Robust classroom assistance tools, linked to an easy-to-understand data management system, allow you to monitor student learning in real time.

Progress Monitoring for Higher Achievement

Program Components: With Yearly ProgressPro, teachers can measure the effectiveness of instruction and track both mastery and retention of grade-level skills, with either CBM or their own customized assessments. Built-in tutorial lessons, including instruction and guided practice, can be automatically prescribed according to group's or individual student's skill levels. Yearly ProgressPro assessments take no more than 15 minutes to administer.

Assess: Items in the test pool have been developed and reviewed by university researchers, curriculum and assessment experts, and teachers for content quality and validity. Yearly ProgressPro offer two types of assessment solutions: curriculum-based measurement and classroom assessments.

• Curriculum-Based Measurement—Yearly ProgressPro provides a comprehensive set of pre-built curriculum-based assessments that can be delivered weekly. These assessments provide detailed diagnostic information on students' academic progress on a defined set of skills.
• Classroom Assessments—Yearly ProgressPro provides a dynamic and simple to use assessment creator, which gives educators the ability to quickly and easily create customized assessments from our vast bank of items.

Instructional Resources: An instructional exercise has been created for each of the skills assessed. Each exercise consists of:

• A set of instructional screens that introduce or explain a given skill.
• A guided practice set where students can walk through items with assistance.
• A unique set of items to review and evaluate a student's progress on a given skill.

Reports and Analysis: Yearly ProgressPro's most important feature is the data management system, which allows educators to trend and track student performance in real time. The system measures individual student's skill strengths and weaknesses and can track whole class performance on specific skills or skill groupings. Additional features include:

• Automated recommendations and assignments that support instructional focus.
• Reporting tools that generate reports by skill, student, class, district, and student demographics.

Additional Key Features include:

• Assesses frequently and presents criterion-referenced items that are aligned with standards, curriculum, and annual assessments.
• Provides the ability for teachers to develop their own customized assessments.
• Provides instantaneous data to focus and modify instruction and to assist with improved student learning.
• Identifies areas of mastery and areas requiring improvement, allowing for early diagnosis and intervention.
• Provides the capability to prescriptively assign exercises comprised of guided instruction and practice items to students.
• Monitors the progress of all students toward established state and/or district standards.
• Measures growth in student achievement over time.

Yearly ProgressPro enhances teacher efforts by:

• Letting teachers know instantly how each student is doing for each skill by simply viewing or printing a report.
• Helping teachers understand which skills students have mastered and which skills need additional review, allowing them to effectively alter lesson plans to meet student needs.
• Providing data to help determine the pace of classroom instruction.
• Identifying specific skills in which most students are having difficulty, warranting whole-class instruction, as well as skills warranting small group instruction.
• Providing the ability to demonstrate to students and parents measured academic progress made during the school year.

Gives educators and administrators comprehensive data by:

• Providing schools and districts with "accountability" data and student information needed to assist decision making and support teacher and student needs.
• Providing real-time information on what progress the district, individual schools, classes, and students are making on mastering critical academic skills.
• Providing assessments and reporting the results in a format that corresponds with state or district standards.

Boosts students' learning by:

• Allowing them to work to improve their skills based on their unique needs and to move beyond skills that have been mastered by using the instructional component of the solution.
• Providing frequent feedback on progress and, as a result, allowing them to become more purposeful in learning, set higher goals for themselves, and become more motivated to learn and work harder in school.
• Providing software that requires little or no adult direction.

Yearly ProgressPro offers online tutorial exercises aligned to assessments.

Each exercise consists of:

• Step-by-step instructional overview of a given skill
• Guided-practice lesson to allow students to practice a skill.
• A short, embedded assessment to enable teachers to review and evaluate student understanding of a skill

Sample Tutorial Exercises

Yearly ProgressPro features short, frequent assessments designed to measure student progress throughout the year. Assessments are aligned to your state standards, allowing you to target your instruction and concentrate your efforts on areas where students most urgently need help.

The National Center for Student Progress Monitoring gives Yearly ProgressPro high scores for Reliability, Validity, Alternative Forms, Sensitivity to Student Improvement, AYP Benchmarks, Improving Student Learning or Teacher Planning, and Rates of Improvement Specified. These ratings support the use of Yearly ProgressPro as an excellent Web-based progress monitoring solution for Reading/Language Arts and Mathematics.

Two types of assessment solutions are offered:

• Pre-built curriculum-based measurement: these assessments can be delivered weekly and include detailed diagnostic information on student learning and progress.
• Customized classroom assessments: an item bank and other dynamic and easy-to-use tools allow educators to quickly and easily build custom assessments.

Sample Assessment Item

Yearly ProgressPro provides educators with a number of critical tools to assist them with Response to Intervention (RTI) program requirements, all linked to an easy-to-understand data management system for tracking and monitoring student performance.

Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) is a proven methodology that is particularly effective in helping struggling learners in basic academic areas such as math, reading, writing, and spelling. CBM monitors the effectiveness of instruction and tracks both mastery and retention of grade-level skills.

If student performance is not meeting grade-level expectations, the teacher adjusts teaching to the appropriate level needed to help students succeed.

CBM is the measurement and assessment tool of choice in numerous federally funded studies, and is supported by the U.S. Dept. of Education.
