Interpreting an Academic Progress Monitoring Chart

Progress Monitoring Chart

1. Phase Line 1: Start of the first phase. This vertical line signifies the start of the intervention and separates the baseline scores from the first phase scores. The day of the first phase always occurs after the date of the baseline/benchmark scores.
2. Phase Line 2: Start of the second phase. This vertical line signifies the start of the second phase of the intervention and separates the first phase and second phase scores. Additional lines will appear if more phases are added.
3. Goal Line: The horizontal green line identifies the Goal. This line signifies if the student is On or Off-track to meet their goal. This will only appear if the Interventionist has entered a goal for the student. 
4. Percentile Line (Norms): The horizontal yellow line identifies the %ile. This will only appear if norms have been entered by the eduCLIMBER Development Team
5. Nat'l Mean Line (Norms): The horizontal gray line identifies the Nat'l Mean. This will only appear if norms have been entered by the eduCLIMBER Development Team
6. Baseline: The light purple triangles on the left-hand side of the graph identify the baseline/benchmark score(s). These appear before the first phase line if progress monitoring data has been entered prior to the start of the intervention.
7. Errors: The red triangles across the chart identify the number of errors a student made. These are whole numbers and are entered by the interventionist.
8. Accuracy: The yellow dots across the chart identify the accuracy a student received. This is a percentage and is calculated based on the student's score and amount of errors made. The calculation used for accuracy is "Score / (Score + Errors)"
9. First Phase Score Line: The blue line with points across the first phase of the chart identifies the student's scores. These are whole numbers and are entered by the interventionist.
10. Second Phase Score Line: The blue line with points across the second phase of the chart identifies the student's scores. These are whole numbers and are entered by the interventionist.
11. Fadeout: The light purple triangles on the right-hand side of the graph identify the closing or final scores for the last phase of the intervention where progress monitoring data is entered after the intervention has ended.
12. Trendlines: The blue horizontal lines appearing in both phases identify the trend of the student's scores and are based on the first and second phase lines.
