Using Math and Reading Curriculum-Based Measurements to Predict State Mathematics Test Performance: Are Simple One-Minute Measures Technically Adequate?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Jiban, Cynthia L.; Deno, Stanley L. – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2007
This study investigated the technical adequacy of 3 simple, 1-min curriculum-based measurements (CBM) for predicting third (n = 35) and fifth (n = 49) graders' performance on a state standards test of mathematics. Measures included 2 numeric CBMs: a traditional basic facts measure and a new "cloze" math facts measure, designed to require deeper…

Must Instructionally Useful Performance Assessment Be Based in the Curriculum?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fuchs, Lynn S.; Deno, Stanley L. – Exceptional Children, 1994
This literature review discusses the match between tests and curricula, measurement validity and instructional utility when sampling student performance in general and advantages/disadvantages of sampling performance in the curriculum. It concludes that sampling from the curriculum is not essential and outlines three critical features ensuring the…

Technical Adequacy of the Maze Task for Curriculum-based Measurement of Reading Growth.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Shin, Jongho; Deno, Stanley L.; Espin, Christine – Journal of Special Education, 2000
A study examined the technical adequacy of curriculum-based measurement for assessing growth in 43 second-graders whose reading performance was measured monthly over the school year with the maze task. Results showed that the maze task had good alternate-form reliability, sensitively reflected improvement of student performance, and revealed…

Performance in Reading from Content Area Text as an Indicator of Achievement.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Espin, Christine A.; Deno, Stanley L. – Remedial and Special Education (RASE), 1993
This study examined the validity of a measure of reading proficiency in content areas with 121 grade-10 students. Correlational analyses revealed low-moderate to moderate correlations between reading measures and scores on a classroom study task, grade point average, and achievement test performance. Recommendations are made for implementation…

Developing Curriculum-Based Measurement Systems for Data-Based Special Education Problem Solving.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Deno, Stanley L.; Fuchs, Lynn S. – Focus on Exceptional Children, 1987
Procedures for developing curriculum-based measurement (CBM) systems are presented as an approach to special education problem solving. CBM procedures are discussed within the context of a decision-making matrix, focusing on "what" and "how" to measure and how to use data. An example applies the method to reading-aloud…
