What is Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) and how does it affect students with learning disabilities?

What will be an ideal response?


Curriculum-based Measurement (CBM) is designed to supplement information obtained from formal assessments. CBM may include having a student read short passages from books in the district language arts or English curriculum and answer comprehension questions. By comparing the student's reading rate and comprehension to a sample of other students in the classroom or the district, a determination can be made about the student's learning progress. CBM can provide professionals and parents a clearer representation of students' ability level.
