Fuchs, Lynn S.; And Others – Diagnostique, 1992
This article addresses the use of curriculum-based measurement (CBM) techniques within regular education settings. Specific CBM decision-making strategies in the areas of mathematics operations are described. Successful application of these strategies in 40 elementary classes, each with at least 1 student with a learning disability, is also…

Thirty-nine special educators, each having three to four pupils in the study, were assigned randomly to a repeated curriculum-based measurement/evaluation treatment or a conventional special education evaluation treatment. Experimental teachers effected greater student achievement. (Author/BW)

Peer reviewedFuchs, Lynn S.; Fuchs, Douglas – Learning Disabilities: Research & Practice, 2001
A data-based approach is introduced as an alternative way to help teachers formulate decisions about the validity of test accommodations for students with learning disabilities. Three rationales for the approach are provided: an inadequate research base to guide decision-making, student heterogeneity, and problems with teacher's use of subjective…

Peer reviewedFuchs, Lynn S.; Deno, Stanley L. – Exceptional Children, 1991
Two approaches to measurement for instructional decision making (specific subskill mastery measurement and general outcome measurement) are described and illustrated with case studies. The paper concludes that measuring general outcome indicators can bridge traditional and contemporary assessment paradigms to form an innovative approach to…

Peer reviewedFuchs, Lynn S.; Fuchs, Douglas – Learning Disabilities Research and Practice, 1998
Proposes a treatment-validity model for the identification of learning disabilities. The four-phase eligibility-assessment process would include evaluating adaptations in the regular classroom and verifying the effectiveness of special education before placement. Considers the technical requirements of this alternative eligibility process, and the…

Peer reviewedDeno, 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…
