OverviewThis book provides a practical guide to curriculum-based evaluation (CBE), which helps educators solve learning problems by making data-based decisions about what and how to teach. CBE offers clear procedures for analyzing PreK-12 students' academic skills, determining where instruction needs to focus, and evaluating progress. Written in an engaging, step-by-step style, the book features examples throughout that illustrate the problem-solving process. The use of curriculum-based measurement (CBM) as a data collection technique is discussed. Reproducible planning and implementation tools are included; the large-size format facilitates photocopying. Purchasers also get access to a Web page where they can download and print the reproducible materials. This book is in The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series, edited by Sandra M. Chafouleas. See also The ABCs of CBM: A Practical Guide to Curriculum-Based Measurement, by Michelle K. Hosp, John L. Hosp, and Kenneth W. Howell, which provides hands-on instructions for implementing a core technique used in CBE. Full Product DetailsAuthor: John L. Hosp , Michelle K. Hosp , Kenneth W.

This book will serve as a very useful primer on CBE for school personnel.

Ysseldyke, PhD, Birkmaier Professor of Educational Leadership, Department of Educational Psychology, University of Minnesota An exceptional contribution to educational practice and training. Practical and user friendly, the book is grounded in a foundation of research. It contains a wealth of useful tools to guide problem solving and decision making, including action steps, guiding questions, checklists, forms, and troubleshooting tips. This book will be invaluable for school professionals working in teams to improve student outcomes. I will definitely recommend adopting it as a text in our School Psychology Program. Our training model is founded in problem solving and data-based decision making; this book is aligned with that approach and provides excellent conceptual understanding and practical application. --Janet L. Graden, PhD, School Psychology Program, University of Cincinnati A 'must read' for anyone involved in designing, implementing, and evaluating instruction. In an era of increased accountability for student outcomes, this book offers a practical framework for collecting assessment information that is directly related to intervention and program planning. The authors use humor and practical examples to teach the different phases, actions, and questions that make up the CBE process. This is an excellent resource for all educators. --Kimberly Gibbons, PhD, Executive Director, St. Croix River Education District, Minnesota As educators, how do we know what specific skills learners are struggling with, and how can we tell if our interventions are actually working?
